Topic	McDonald's and Visa show you how to budget to live on minimum wage
wolfy42 07/20/17 3:41:39 PM #69:	Delicinq4 posted... Why is it the business responsibility to take on the cost of increased wage for the same work? A burger flipper is NOT worth 15/hr. This just hurts business and removes incentive for startups and local business, something that the govt needs. If theyre so determined to enforce that everyone needs to be able to live no matter how useless and lazy they are, why doesnt the Govt just pay them instead of forcing that cost on valuable members of society (business owners)? I mean, I think minimum wage should be like 4 dollars but thats cause I have a background in economics and y'all dont. I'm well off, comfortable and will be till I die, but yeah, I feel rage for all the people out there struggling. They deserve a good life as well. There is no reason for them not to have it, there is plenty to go around. Instead, our current setup allows companies to make massive profits, while the people working barely get by. A burger flipper is freaking WORKING and providing food for people all day long. He flips freaking burgers 40+ hours a week, just to live (if he's lucky) in a little tiny apartment, has no spending money and probably has to eat at where he works almost exclusively due to getting a discount there (so not healthy at all). Somebody has to do that job and almost 50% of the jobs in this country that pay a similar amount. They have value, they make our lives possible, but they are treated like they have no value (as we don't pay them enough to live based on that work alone). We say, sorry, your a burger flipper, you need to work at least 60 hours just to barely get by, or be homeless you waste of skin. How is that ok? I mean, that is exactly what you are saying. Would you go up to a person and tell them they are worthless and they need to work 60 hours a week for you just to get your left overs and live in your dirty shed in the back yard? Everyone deserves a chance at a good life, a job they can feel proud of, and a way to improve themselves, save for a future, and possibly build a family if they want. There is no reason that can't be available to everyone either, except for extreme greed. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!!
