"It's real difficult because I got to support a wife and four kids, and $8.75 just can't make it,"

I'm trying to figure out why conservatives are slamming this guy so hard. He actually has a job and works, when he and his wife and his four kids could probably get more money on welfare, and he could sit around doing nothing all day. And he's bucking the system leftists created to make sure he's on welfare, and the inflation they created that screw guys like him. He's the victim of leftists. Why bash him, even of he isn't a professor of economics. He goes to work every day. Would you rather he sit around on the couch and cash checks all day?

Excellent point. And once all the withholding taxes are taken out of his check, he's probably lucky to take home $7 per hour.

This is why leftists win elections in places like New York. They will take a guy like this and divert his blame to the employer whereas conservatives will pile on with platitudes which, while they may be technically correct, do nothing to help this guy turn against his real exploiters here-- the left.

My only anger is reserved for SEIU who is using these dull minded(albeit employed) people to do their dirty work. SEIU is a hard left, terrorist organization.

You really think that he doesn’t get any sort of government handout with a “wife and four kids to support” and he makes 8 bucks an hour?
