A lot of people today talk about raising the minimum wage so just MAYBE all people WILLING to work will be able to make ends meet. OK idea I guess. To me anyone who is willing to get up everyday and at least give life a try should be guaranteed to earn enough to make ends meet and have SOME means of preparation for health issues and retirement. That should be a MINIMUM standard incentive. As opposed to popping out babies and waiting on monthly government checks and using the medicaid system to hit up doctors for free prescriptions to sell for extra cash. Then on the other end of the spectrum you have Mom trashing a house full of color TV's because the KIDS wanted better ones!!! Coomme OONN!! There must be a ballance in this country, some how, some way. I have an answer!
I say for now don't raise the minimum wage. LOWER THE MAXIMUM WAGE!!!!!
As for those kids I would go out and purchase a house full of 13" Black and White sets and donate their awful 19" and larger color sets to the old folks home.
