PROBLEM SOLVED

[sdavis117]

When I say "bums", I really am talking about the bums, not the people working for less than minimum wage. You know, the ones who mooch off of welfare, or the ones who spend all the money they can scrape together on booze or other drugs?

Which probably describes a VERY small faction of those who are on welfare.

Can't say that without statistics. And even if it is a small fraction, that doesn't change the fact that my paycheck will go towards some worthless drunkards who won't help themselves. There are plenty of them around here.

@Neuro: osnap!

A lot of those "poor bums" work longer hours and in more grueling work conditions than you could imagine, all to make just minimum wage.

Greater words where never ever spoken.





Say hello to 2 weeks work.
and guess what?

I make minimum wage, and cant afford health insurance, meanwhile the greedy fuckign cunts that own these buisness's around here are rolling in money.
My workplace with 5 workers and 2 people in the office has a weekly turn over of over 30 thousand dollars.
and i see minimum for it.

So these no work bums your talking about is nothing but extreme case's brought forward by a sensationalist biased corrupt media organisations with an agenda to keep you ignorant and retarded to the truth for the vast majority of the workforce.

Anyone who works 40+ hours for minimum wage doesn't qualify for welfare unless they have a bunch of kids, they'll make too much money.

In fact, unless you do have children it's nearly impossible to get welfare if you are working.

In PA, if you're household makes more than $200 a month you can't get state health insurance, food stamps, or housing assistance.

However, if you just stop working, you'll get all of that, plus a check every month, and up to $700 for a car every year.

Paid for by me. Because I have a real fucking job.

There's tons of people around here that don't work because they can get more for being lazy assholes. They know it and they'll laugh about it.

the new Health Insurance is just another chunk of my pay the government gets to rape me out of because of bums.

THEN PAY PEOPLE MORE TO WORK.

a buisness doesnt have to make 200% more then it did the year before EVERY YEAR to be successfull!

If someone's working for less than minimum wage then they're either illegal aliens or stupid and have need to sue.

@Bod, solution: Unionize. Except without the monthly 'union dues' because that becomes overbearing.

That sounds like more of an issue with minimum wage than insurance. Raising minimum wage, however, has only short lived benefits because prices will catch up to it.

Unionizing is an option but for many businesses it's giant leech on profits that only nets them the same employees who are now less willing to do good work because the union protects them.

I think the better option is to lower the cost of health care through competition and interstate insurance business. Then maybe a full-time min-wage earner could afford insurance or have to option to pay for treatment out of pocket if they happen to not get sick very often, as is in the case of most young people.

Because I, of all people, give the media my undo attention and believe everything they spew out. You hit the nail right on the head, Dwood. My money will help pay for illegals' health care. They are already exempt from paying taxes and so they should not reap the benefits from them.
