I work somewhere that pays just above minimum wage and everyone's on food stamps...
Conservatives like to portray those on food stamps as simply being too lazy to get a job or too lazy to work hard.
Well I work with about 10 full time employees at various ages who cannot provide for themselves without government assistance. We average between 8 and 9 dollars an hour. I'm fortunate in that I will have a college degree in the next 6 months that will allow me to find a well paying job. The rest of my coworkers are not so fortunate.
If Conservatives really cared about reducing the need for welfare programs, they would solve the root of the problem. Which is unemployment, low minimum wage and exorbitant health care costs.
We need a livable wage. We need unemployment benefits. We need single payer. We need Conservatives to get off our backs.
He thinks he's going to get a decent job in Obama's economy?

Want fries with that? :-)

I find it truly amazing that the so called educated DUmmies think that if minimum wage is doubled that the cost of goods and services will remain at current levels.
The only thing that will increase is the number on their W-2's at the end of the year. Their spending power will be reduced.
The drug man will increase his prices as well.

Then of course you have the people making $16 an hour all of a sudden making minimum wage. How long is that going to fly?

Those were just 'bumps in the road'.

Very unlikely. Not one DUmmy has done this since the end of the Great Bush Prosperity.

Well, the drug dealer is going to be paying four bucks a loaf for bread and seven bucks a gallon for gas just like everyone else in the 'Living wage' environment, so it's only natural.

No you won't DUmmy. I graduated with my degree last May and will probably never use it despite all the fluff stories that it's a "good" degree. It's ok though, because I got a conditional job offer today where I'll be making 2-3 times what I would have made with the degree.
Suck it.

What is the degree in? The classics? Ceramics? Underwater basket weaving? South American history with a minor in slavery?

Libs concentrate on taking value, and giving none or little. Conservatives concentrate on giving value, compensation naturally follows.

Remember, Grabbity, you really have to go out and apply for them, M'kay?

Put your degree in one hand, crap in the other, and see which one fills up first.
Degrees ain't worth the ink they're printed with in the real world.
Skills, on the other hand...

Congrats, Mike!

Remember 4.5% unemployment rates? You know, back when Republicans controlled the House and the Presidency? Yeah, kinda all went to shit 10 months after Dims took control of Congress in '07, didn't it?
Own it, DUmbass.

They couldn't do it during the great Bush prosperity GB! All I heard from the dump back then was how terrible the economy was. :cheersmate:

Well, that hasn't changed.
DUmmies are still bitching about how bad the economy is, only now we are agreeing with them! :rotf:

Unemployment could be 0% and if a Republican was in office, they'd be bitching about McDonald's employees not making 50,000 a damn year.

A most miserable collection of misfits, morons, and cretins that ever existed.
Spoiled brat 4 year-olds have more intelligence and better manners.
