Here is a though go try to servive on minimum wage in New York for a week and see how far that gets you maybe a couple of cab rides. So the right complains about people being on welfare, then they gripe when they do have a job and want a raise while the profits of these companies are in the 100 million range. GOP new slogan should be: Keep them poor, Get them sick, let them die quickly.
What is this? The Alan Grayson response? Come on now greengirl, if people can't survive on minimum wage, then they have to get a different job. If they don't possess the skills to get a higher paying job then get the training to do so. And as a conservative, while they are training to get that better job, I have no problem if they are on assistance while doing such. As long as they are bettering themselves while collecting it.
The faux issue you seem to have with a business making profit that YOU deem excessive, is really irrelevant. It isn't up to you to decide how much a business should make or not. And might I say how pretentious does one have to be to first assume what a business is making as profit, then assume that because you agreed to do a job for them, at a certain wage, that now in that job you have any right to claim their profit.
My suggestion to anyone trying to support a family on a job designed to introduce teenagers to what it means to work, that maybe they shouldn't vote in a President, and government that obviously thinks that these jobs are fine for that individual.
