NO, if you had your way and gave everyone 50000 a year to sweep floors, then WTF do you think prices would be to buy consumeer goods. If a hamb has 50 cents in labor costs and you increase it to a dollar then the price would have to be increased accordingly.
Anyone of average intelligence can work hard and get an education and therefore a decent job. Nobody gave me a thing, I worked in the family business from 5 AM to school start then back until 7 or 8 that night. Worked in popcorn booth at the local theater on weekends and this staarted when I was only 10 years old. I went to College by working summers, not buying a car or drugs, working 5PM to 1AM 5 days a week during school. Then joined the Army and finished college after I got out (on the GI Bill). During the last of underegrad school, I was married with children and still finished SO DON'T pretend that that aren't opportunities out there to improve one's lot in life.
Oh so once upon a time YOU were one of those lowlife minimum wage workers. Guess you think those lowlifes should start at the top like you did. This pointless you have your opinion and I have mine. Yours is shall we say less than admirable.
