In Kansas City, protester Dana Wittman, 38, said the $9 per hour she makes at Pizza Hut isn't enough to make ends meet for her family, which includes three grown children. "I have to choose between paying my rent and putting food on the table," she said.

Why is she even trying to keep up 3 GROWN CHILDREN. If they all had a $9 an hour job, that would be $36 an hour coming in for the household to operate on.....or roughly $72,000.00 a year which is a lot more than the 3 of us are living on right now with the son going to college sans loans even.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

The source is MesSNBC. I would expect NBC (among others) to be severely disinclined to fact-check demonstrator's claims. So this female may not have been within a hundred yards of a Pizza Hut in the past 6 months. But assume she is what she claims to be. Why, at age 38, is she working an entry-level job?! Has she never darkened the door of a college classroom? Is her work history that lacking or lousy (seriously! if she's worked at Pizza Hut for a decent amount of time, punctually, diligently, she should be an assistant manager or shift manager by now!)?

And as you said, 3 grown kids and none contributing to the household? And where's Dad(s)/Father(s)/babydaddy(s)?
