well, of course, but that is logic speaking. Most people today (and lots here on this site, even) lack that sort of logical thinking by assuming that unless you can afford to rent an apt (all by yourself no less! even if we couldn't when we were starting out), and afford your own car (public transportation is obviously beneath them) AND be able to afford to have whatever recreation they want w/out having to budget, then you're just being abused by the company you work for. Piss on that, I say. When I first started working (before I had any marketable qualifications), I worked for minimum wage also, and I shared apts with other people, had roommates, shared vehicles and walked when I could. Frankly, this is all about people who don't have skills, who are complaining about trying to raise five kids on the income at walmart. Gimme a break. It's all PERSONAL choice! I'm SO sick of the mentality that people are NOT to blame for their situations, but the companies they work for ARE to blame for each persons personal choices. It's digusting and that so many on here get sucked in to this mentality says a LOT. Bash it if you must, but at least do it for a GOOD reason and not one that's propaganda put out by unions!!

Yes, you are focusing on what was most of America a couple of generations ago or so.

Most people rented and lived with multiple people to a home.
Most if they had a clunker of a car were grateful.

I think there needs to be a law passed that all government union jobs may not exceed in wage the paycheck and benefits of similar jobs in the private sector.
You'd see the government wage jobs be cut in half by that, and IMO they should be.
Why is WalMart a target, and how is it "we the people" have to pay double wage value with benefits to government workers and unions.
If not for the government cash cow, unions would already be dead now.
