"It should include one dependable car, money to pay for insurance, modest housing, adequate food, a night out once in awhile, internet access and computer"
If every employer were required to provide all of those things for everybody they employ... the unemployment rate in this country would be over 20%. You are sheltered and don't understaned economics.
The employer should not provide anything but wages, benefits, annual picnics, and employee discounts.
People should be paid enough to buy and insure a dependable second-hand car and be able to find an honest car repair place that doesn't charge an arm and a leg.
I don't have a degree in economics but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see so many working poor exploited by their employers because there aren't any other jobs that pay any better.
You are the one who is sheltered. Go out an mingle with some of these folks you think don't deserve some of the things you no doubt have.
Keep it up. Time is on the side of the Democrats. The more working poor we have, the more they will vote Democrat.
