How do we expect people to bust their ass on minimum wage jobs
It's insulting really
To think that these poor workers should be grateful to be starving
A recent report states that nowhere in the USA can a minimum wage full time worker rent a 2 bedroom apartment.* That's just an apartment, we're not talking food, utilities, car/transportation, clothes, bills, etc. No where can anyone living on minimum wage afford just a meager apartment. Yet we expect gratitude, a friendly smile, great service, a never ending smile, at all times. Seriously??
Congress doesn't work as hard as minimum wage workers, or as many hours. Yet they get paid well. People who are statistically speaking are much less your model citizen (bankruptcies, failed businesses, legal issues, crimes, etc.) then the average person.
And yet people sometimes balk to tip them. Really? If that extra dollar is going to bankrupt you, stay home. In Australia and Germany they have a very high minimum wage. I gather that is because they are a fairly homogenous societies and once more minorities come about that may change. Of course I could be wrong. This is just my skewed view of the possible reason.
And also. Now. Don't get me started on contract workers.
These people (generally speaking) went to school, did everything they were "suppose to do". And now they have no stability, no benefits and are worked as bad as day laborers or sweat shop workers. With any prospects of a permanent position making them out against each other for it. Talk about savagery. And these are the lucky ones to get a job now-a-days. Right?
Yet we are fighting how many wars? We are (militarily speaking) in how many countries? Haven't we spent enough on war in this country to buy each citizen a million dollar home. Each and every one!!!

I'm dumbfounded how we could be so stupid. So complacent.
That it has been proven that congress does exactly what special interests and corporation want it to do; regardless of the citizens desires. A 20 year study just revealed as much. That majority rule makes no difference anymore. That the preference of the average citizen has virtually no impact on policy. None! 90% of the population doesn't count as far as congress is concerned; except at election time, and even then less and less as they strive to manipulate the votes more and more.

It's all so laughable really.
This country isn't free?
It's a royal smorgasbord for the top percenters while the bottom 90% (or more probably) pay for it dearly, with our lives, our children and our supposed freedoms.
