3.5 hours a day? I'd love to work 17.5 hours a week and get these benefits. Then I'd be able to get a full time job in addition to my work at UPS instead of just a second P/T job.
You don't understand. We couldn't care less about poor people here because we've worked oh so hard for our money by driving a truck...(Sorry does that oversimplify your jobs, kind of like someone who just "flips burgers".)
Jesus said to give all your money and possessions to the poor. I imagine you have savings and a 401k while people are going hungry in this country. You selfish selfish person! YOU don't want to help the poor you want the government to do it by taking from the rich. You shouldn't punish someone for learning how to become wealthy rather teach the poor to become more wealthy themselves. The silly liberal arguments that you can eliminate poverty by giving poor people stuff has more people on welfare and food stamps than ever before. This country is encouraging people to remain in poverty and killing their initiative.
Thank you! I was just talking about this with a driver friend yesterday...i've broke over 30 hours for the past 3 weeks...I usually average between 23-27. I can't remember the last time I only worked a 3.5 hour shift! As much as peak sucks....I love a 50hour check with 25 hours OT..lol
I wish I had that much fun in my office.
Didn't Jesus only tell one individual to do that (the rich young ruler)? I could be wrong but I think Jesus was just pointing out that he was too attached to his riches to be a follower.
No, that's what these corporations want not me.... Fast food companies and places like walmart pay below a living wage and they get away with it because their employees just go on public assistance to make ends meet. Walmart and McDonald's LOVE welfare and foodstamps. What I want is for these people to be paid a living wage and be able to support themselves.
Just you, Jergens and a box of tissues huh? lolI wish I had that much fun in my office.
Theses corporations aren't charities they exist to make profits by selling goods and services to consumers. The reason you say they don't provide a living wage is because prices have gone up. If you force these businesses to raise the minimum wage too high some will shut down and others will raise their prices. They aren't taking advantage of anyone they are paying what the market will bear.
Most of us in this country are rich to many of the worlds population. I see nothing wrong with working hard, saving, investing, cresting and inventing in order to become prosperous. Jealously of success won't help the poor. This entitlement mindset that grips this country is creating more poverty and will eventually bankrupt us.
Welfare and food stamps are not what is bankrupting this country. I hope you realize that.
Truth is the price of oil is bankrupting the world pure and simple.
Wrong again.
You keep beating up those that are jealous of the successful. That straw man is down for the count.
Bingo, and yes military spending is third behind Medicare and Social Security. Neither party is going to touch any of those things, so they distract people by talking about welfare and food stamps. A living wage would not put most people out of business, certainly not Walmart and Mcdonalds. What it would do is get a lot of people off of welfare and SNAP.
