Rural GA could make it on less.
This depends on the quality of housing/neighborhood you want.
Blew it against Clinton though by raising taxes.
Stacy Abrams position on voting eligibility brings to mind the following statistics. I recall Georgia being founded as some form of penal colony, but gee, have things changed that much?
Georgia is currently No 1. in the nation for the number of persons under correctional supervision, be it prison, jail, parole, or probation.
The Georgia profile also reports the state’s prison system housing 53,000 inmates while jails around the state house an additional 43,000. Parolees and probationers total 489,000.
One in 13 adults are under some form of correctional supervision in the State of Georgia.
While not necessarily Georgia citizens, Federal prisons house an additional 5,700 inmates.

The problem is, her voting base is low-info, and what she’s selling sounds good to them.
The only thing that really needs to change is how we qualify people for employment. It shouldn’t matter how a person qualified himself, as long as he could pass all the tests that give society confidence that he can do the job.
That’s why it should be the professional organizations that qualify people and not the educational institutions.
Bull$hit. Some jobs are not worth enough to the employer for the employer to pay enough to buy a $400,000 house.
Communism meant government control of salaries. This is nothing more than a cry for communism.
OK, how about this? Governors get a maximum of $50,000 a year salary. OK with that? NO? then shut up about controlling other peoples’ salaries.
You should work as many jobs as it takes to pay your bills.
She sort of has an interesting point to debate. But I’d have to have some terms defined. “Work,” for example. Forty actual hours of on-time good performance? “Living,” food, shelter, clothing, and bus fare to get to work? Somehow I have a feeling that we would differ on those points. I suspect there’s big screen TVs and Obama phones in her definition of “living.”
But the big one, and the first premise we would have to define is, what do we mean by “shouldn’t have to”? The way that is stated implies that someone or some thing is at fault. But I bet we’d disagree on that, too. If the reason you can only get a menial, low-paying job is the fact that you didn’t study in the free grade schools and high schools you attended, whose fault is that? If it’s because your work history shows you don’t get to work on time because you are hung over or doped up, whose fault is that?
Or in a more basic case, if you are making a basic living — food, shelter, etc, — for your family, but you desire material things like a big screen TV, latest I-phone, car, isn’t it your fault more than society’s? Somehow I bet she and I would disagree on all those things.
Capitalism progressively raises average REAL wage rates. In the context of free and rational economic environment, an increase in the ratio of aggregate productive expenditure over aggregate sales revenues, which is an increase in the economic degree capitalism, first establishes full employment. Then, it increases aggregate demand for labor, which increases average money wage rates. It also increases production and supply, which leads to lower average prices. The combination of higher money wage rates and lower prices leads to higher real wage rates, which leads to higher standard of living for the average worker. What is not needed is leftardism, which is the opposite of the above.
Someone should tell these Democrats that if the illegal invasion was stopped AND reversed (all illegals out), most of what they complain about would fix itself in a matter of a few years or maybe less.
Also, if the union bosses didn’t sell out the rank-and-file, there would be no illegal problem, for they would see to it they are kept out to keep the prevailing wage much higher.
It’s the old 80/20 rule: 80% of the problem is caused by 20% of the population. 325 million X .20 = 65 million, roughly the number of illegals here today.
That’s right. Every burger flipper should be paid the same as brain surgeons.

It should take one job for most people. But that would would require that the Left was kept in check and government interference in the economy was kept at a minimum. Those are tall orders.
And yet she supports importing huge numbers of (illegal) immigrants the drive down working wages.
People should also have to create their own jobs, where they can dictate their own take-home pay or salaries.
Another race-baiting leftist female ghettopotamus.
Yeah, we need more of that kind of politician.
