I don't know what kind of people raised you but they didn't do you any favors. Look at the people around you, especially the old, you are looking at your future if you continue with the same mindset. Oh and by the way, anyone who has done well in life knows not to put all their eggs in one basket.

Living on a park bench is doable and some people do that as well. And the bigger picture remains quite unchanged in the end. The facts are still that businesses are dumping their own internal costs off onto taxpayers. This is not the result of character flaws among greedy poor people. It is the result of character flaws among greedy rich people. Credit where credit is due, after all.

Really? Then why do blue cities and states prosecute criminals?

I stand by my example: a household income of $36,000 (3 roommates each earning $12,000) is definitely doable.

They should tax their employers directly for a percentage of it if they aren't making a certain level of wage. Food stamps, housing...all hidden subsidies for businesses.

Gee, another run-away-from-the-point non-answer. Your ideas all fail. That's all they do and all they ever have done. Maybe get some new ones.

So, nothing about the park bench then, nor about the obvious fact that the big picture remains utterly unchanged by anything you have said.

Nope. The point is RESPONSIBILITY. Always has been.

Roommates living in a $36,000 income household don't need to live on a park bench.
