Want to know what's wrong with America? Here's a glimpse.
On the news that the Unemployment rate remains at historic lows here are some responses from assclowns who (unfortunately) vote:
That's all well and good, but what is the poverty level and average pay?
The real question is how much are these jobs paying and how much is insurance costing?
I stupidly tried to engage these morons:
Please explain to me how higher unemployment is going to improve the poverty level or increase average pay?
The question of pay rates and insurance is not a question at all unless you're just looking for a reason to complain. There is value in work. It's part of the American fabric. Any pay is better than no pay and further reliance on government assistance. Insurance was significantly less expensive before the government "fixed" it. The situation is exponentially worse now. I really don't see how these questions have any merit.
And this is what I get back:
As a taxpayer, it makes my blood boil that some companies (Walmart is famous for this, but there are others) pay such low salaries that their employees qualify for public assistance. These companies count on us to provide for their workers so they can keep their profits higher. And they also offer very expensive insurance with very poor benefits. Once again, so the employee (or their kids) will qualify for aid from us, the taxpayer. These question has a LOT of merit.
If you have ever been stuck in a job that pays you just enough to eat and buy enough gas to get back to work you work in the morning you might think different.
So the liberal bleeding heart morons would prefer that people be on complete government assistance rather than working lower level jobs in order to gain experience and build a resume that could lead to a better job. It's Wal Mart's responsibility to pay them enough to live the upper crust life they deserve.
My God. I knew that the job I had stocking shelves at the clothing store wasn't supposed to be my career. I also understood the value of work -- psychologically and economically.
I reiterate -- we are screwed.
