“She went to work answering the phones at Sears. The job paid only minimum wage, but it was enough to make sure we could keep our home.
No one should work full time and live in poverty.”
This is....logic...?
You can work someplace doing menial labor, the state will give you food, housing, medical care, and cash in your pocket. It's the Liberal dream, because they believe in fairness.
Let’s face it. The only people that “work full time and live in poverty” are IDIOTS! BLITHERING MORONS!
Hey Sen. Warren...less than 3% of the workforce earn minimum wage you brain dead embicile.
“No one should work full time and live in poverty.”
...for heavily modified definitions of poverty.
One of my friends just cannot understand the definition Americans use for poverty. He lived with his mother, a couple of Aunts, his cousins, in his grandfathers house, with the goats on the other side of the room to keep them from being eaten by the leopards. He never had shoes until he was 12. From his view, he wasn’t in poverty...he had goats, a family, and access to the river. He went to the local Catholic school in the mornings, where he learned to read and write in his native language and English.
Yes, they not only should, but must if it is merely and totally the result of indolence, indifference, irresponsibility and a sense of total entitlement.
On the other hand, Lizzie, no one should live in poverty, as a result of confiscatory policies, robbing a significant percentage of his wages income from a real job, in order to support people who have never held a job, who have never allowed themselves to be educated, and who live at a higher standard of living than those who have worked decades, eschewing instant gratification, investing years in education and training, and managing their lives such as to responsibly avoid large families they are incapable of supporting.
If there are rational counterargument to my expectations in this regard, Lizzie, I am open to hearing them.
I need to add the obvious : Charity imposed on free people under penalty of law, ceases to be charity. Some call it institutional "legal" theft by another name.
