you people keep looking toward being codependent enablers - You feed slothful manors, actions, and behaviors of those who have lost self respect based on accomplishments.
Like the above post by TKramar where they said:
If you are a person like TKramar ....
You may be a kid
you may not know how to get out of the minimum wage rut
you have such low self esteem that you can not see your self worth much more than that.
Or...you may have been working at a place that had been destroyed by a hurricane, and now need SOME type of job. The real high-end places aren't going to hire you. This was a temporary labor company, doing mainly hurricane cleanup. Of course, the companies were coming INTO the area, they were not local.
Also, there is no reason for ANYONE to make more than $10 an hour. YOU are not worth more than that.
SINGLE 0 Deductions or MARRIED 2 Deductions: if you work for just one hour you clear $6.84 - that is 41-cents deducted for FICA
try FACTS ... not delusional nonsense!
many of you liberals seem to use lies and deceit just to act like you know something - even when you don't.
Like I said, I was taking the paychecks on a minimum wage job home. I was only netting $5 an hour. Social Security tax was more than the federal, but it was still only $5 an hour. I've done it--that is FACT for you, not theory.
By the way, most people who are OVERPAID (more than $10 an hour) don't do any actual "work" at all. Lazy bastards.

awwww .... POOR BABY!
What would I know of storm clean up?
Bet I have been in a city near you and know more about it!
just about 2 blocks from me is tornado clean RIGHT NOW!
... FYI - at $10.00 an hour you couldn't afford this little 1,200 square foot house I live in!
and if most people made a meager $10.00 an hour what economy could be sustained on that type of purchase power?
Can you afford a new car and new house on that wage? Be serious kid!
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the fetters of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? ז הֲלוֹא פָרֹס לָרָעֵב לַחְמֶךָ, וַעֲנִיִּים מְרוּדִים תָּבִיא בָיִת: כִּי-תִרְאֶה עָרֹם וְכִסִּיתוֹ, וּמִבְּשָׂרְךָ לֹא תִתְעַלָּם. 7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him, and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? ח אָז יִבָּקַע כַּשַּׁחַר אוֹרֶךָ, וַאֲרֻכָתְךָ מְהֵרָה תִצְמָח; וְהָלַךְ לְפָנֶיךָ צִדְקֶךָ, כְּבוֹד יְהוָה יַאַסְפֶךָ. 8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee, the glory of the LORD shall be thy rearward.
Oh, you didn't go all Hebrew on them! That's not fair!!
It seems that folks forget that the Torah and the New Testament make two points, one is to encourage work and the other is to care for the poor whether they do or not (or can't).
I don't know of a single advocate of "welfare" who believes that work is not better than welfare. I don't know of a single welfare advocate who actively encourages the poor not to be self-sufficient, perhaps this is why welfare programs target those who cannot, children, the affirmed and the aged.
let me get this straight ... you don't believe a word of it - yet you ARE IN a Religious section?
Yes, I am in the Religion AND PHILOSOPHY section. And your philosophy sucks, quite frankly.
And I repeat, if that's what your bible teaches, then I'm glad I don't believe it.
