Big corporations with workers on food stamp and welfare programs are essentially the biggest welfare queens theyre subsidized by letting government carry their underpaid workers. So if youre mad about government overspending then you need to investigate the mega corporations first and foremost

Paying market rates for wages and then subsidizing the poor is... good though. It's why we do it.

25/hr would be viable for new york. it's doable for mcdonalds.

The owner of the store doesn't wanna pay people more than min wage. Greed.

Depends on the type of welfare we're talking about but in general something like food stamps has very little market distortion, far less than a high minimum wage would.

If your business can only survive by exploiting labor costs, then guess what? Your business sucks

Welcome to reality.

Hence why communism as good as it sounds doesn't work. Greed comes into play.

Suffering exists.

Ultra rich people don't try to save the world. They do the best they can such as what Gates does.

If the world went back to ancient times with "huts" and stuff greed would still exist. People would still kill and kill for "stuff".

We are living in a totally unprecedented time of rising wealth and declining poverty. Some things do work.

Minimum wage jobs are for teenagers just outta school looking for part time work. Not so you can support a family of four.

Find what you like in life that makes you happy and stick with it. Turn off the tv cause you're 99.9% of the time being sold something that's done through marketing manipulation and makes you feel bad.

"I could care less" means you care right now.
The proper phrase is "I couldn't care less."
