You won’t believe how little $8.25 an hour buys

[bedowin62]

is it the 1950's? always amusing when a left-wing moron clutters up a page with a massive self-impressed screed that resembles a dissertation more than a post. almost every point you made can be rebutted; if only because it isnt 1950 still, pretty much all the rivers are damned..etc

oh and obama had more "latitude" than probably seven presidents that came before him

idiots and hypocrites

 

[bedowin62]

it is your point that a massive welfare state creating a class of dependent people that will span generations in some families (it's already well documented to have happened) is a better investment in a nation than protecting vital interests overseas?
or that not protecting those interests will make a burger flipper worth more than $8.25/hour? did you even look at the title of the post before you created this rant^^^

and even if it was true wouldnt that left-wing version of utopia still require oil?

have you ever been to a liberal city? know any actual left-wingers or people who vote for left-wingers HERE, not in london, not in academia? they like their material things genius.

 

[paulitician]

you can say to me "obama spent almost a trillion so "workers" could rebuild America's infrastructure", or something like that.

but how many of those jobs exist right now?

Obama didn't come close to having the political latitude to do big infrastructure like Eisenhower, a great Republican who used big government to create an interstate system with a truly massive multiplier effect. The number of commercial benefits and life improving effects that come from efficient transportation is well worth researching.

Or look at the technology that came out of the Cold War defense budget o NASA, specifically the profitability that technology had once it was seeded into the private sector for commercial use.

Or look at the Hoover Dam and the harnessing of the Colorado tributary. The modern Southwest, with its thriving cities and profit centers, would not exist without this truly massive government project. And don't tell me that isolated private corporations had the capital or incentive to build the Hoover Dam during the interwar period because the debt required for this project was larger than the GDP of most small countries.

We all know that you haven't had much college education - and that you get the majority of your information from the rightwing media, which strategically underreports the subsidies/technology/infrastructure provided by government. Your media sources are part of a broad campaign to lower the taxes of the people who benefit most from these subsidies/infrastructure.

Who do you think protects Exxon's oil fields in dangerous places like the Mideast? Who do you think protects the access of our large corporation to natural resources and labor markets in unstable, freedom-hating parts of the globe? Or what about the Patent System where corporations flock to Washington to get legal protection from big government for their investments?

Here's the problem, you don't even understand the market's reliance on government. Your side doesn't hate government; rather, it sucks it dry. The corporations you love have built lobbying empires in DC so they can suckle at the taxpayer's teat. Do you even know the amount of subsidies companies like Boeing and Lockheed have received from government? Or what about Eli Lilly, which practically owns the Republican congress and was able to secure above market rates for the drugs it sold to Bush's Medicare Part D. You have no fucking clue the degree to which our most powerful market players are dependent upon big government.

Infrastructure, subsidies, patent protection, legal enforcement of contracts, military defense of overseas resources and trade routes.... [you silly silly moron] capitalism LOVES big government. It just tells you otherwise so that it doesn't have to pay for the services it sucks from the state.

Republicans are just fine with Government intervention if it benefits the Corporate Fatcats they worship and prop up. So i don't buy into their 'Small/Less Government' routine anymore. They're disingenuous hypocrites.

YAWN
you're one of those left-wing idiots that will make a fool of himself all night long

i will just ask you to remind me who attends the $30,000 PER PLATE fundraisers to have dinner with obama?

is it Joe Lunchbox from down at the factory?

i mean since you're talking hypocrisy and all; and who is in the pocket of whom

what do they want for the money?

Raising the minimum wage in this country isn't going to increase the average wage of low income workers. It will only put some of them on the unemployment line. Sealing the border and keeping out illegal immigrants who are willing to work for peanuts is the solution to the problem. Democrats are the main obstruction to getting that done.

If it were left up to you folks, Workers wouldn't have Vacation time, Overtime Pay, Maternity Leave, and most other worker protections you yourself enjoy today. You guys fought against those things tooth & nail. So why again should American Workers support the Republican Party?

Most of those things only hurt workers. Minimum wage means a lot of low skill workers are going to be unemployed, especially teenagers and college students. Overtime means employees will have their earnings reduced because employers don't want to pay overtime. They'll hire times or increase staff rather than allow their employees to work more than 40 hours a week. Maternity leave means that women of child-bearing age won't get a job because the employer is worried that they will get pregnant while on the job, and then he'll have to hire two employees to fill one position.

The one thing we know that has hurt workers more than anything is the flood if illegal aliens from third world countries that are willing to work for peanuts. They have been depressing American wages for the last 15 years and are the main reason for the stagnating wages of the bottom 80% income quintiles. And we know who is responsible for that: Democrats. The top 1% isn’t responsible. Republicans aren’t responsible. Democrats are the ones to blame.

The claim that Democrats care about workers is the lie of the century.

You guys have proven you don't give a shit about American Workers. You're all about worshipping the Corporate Elite Beast. American Workers should always fight to keep you guys out of power. When you guys get in there, they know they're screwed.

But that being said, i do agree that our border needs to be secured. That would go a long way in helping struggling American Workers.

Ok, why are the struggling? Could it be that due to obozocare they can only get 29 hours per week? Could it be that entry level jobs are being taken by illegals? could it be that raising the MW has reduced the number of entry level jobs? Could it be that the highest corporate tax rates in the world have driven jobs overseas and stopped companies from expanding? could it be that there are billions sitting overseas rather than being brought home and taxed?

Yeah, cause you guys care so much about American Workers. Seriously, i'v never met a white Republican dude yet who cared about anyone but himself. Let's just take a look at your Platform the last several decades. Here's what you offer American Workers...

Pay them the lowest wages possible, give them as few benefits as possible, Outsource their jobs whenever possible, and replace them with Illegal Slave Labor whenever possible.

Gee, i wonder why American Workers are rushing in droves to support the other Party.[/QUOTE]

The way libturds show their concern for the American worker is by importing a lot of foreign workers from third world countries who are willing to work for peanuts and drive American wages down and keep unemployment high.

Yeah, that is sure showing you care about America.

American workers have gotten wise to this scam. That's why Donald Trump is so astoundingly popular.

Wrong. Republicans oppose the Export-Import bank and Ethanol mandates, which are both forms of corporate welfare. Libturds support both programs, which goes to show what astounding hypocrites they are.

Bottom line is, if you're a struggling American, it wouldn't be wise to support the Republican Party. The Party is run by greedy old fat white dudes. They actually hope you drop dead. They're certainly not people you turn to for help. So it's the Democratic Party by default. Lesser of two evils.

No moron. I earned my benefits. I'm not in a union. I owe nothing to unions. I'm not a republican you fucking moron.

Why do idiots on the right always assume that they earned everything they have, but others do not.

Why I worked in the city, my skills were highly sought after, and I received 3 weeks vacation, to start, 10 days paid sick leave, which you could use for medical appointments, fully paid supplemental benefits, including disability insurance, matching pension contributions, and profit sharing, and health club membership, Christmas bonus.

In a small town, nothing. Two weeks mandatory vacation, 9 sick days sick leave which you cannot use for medical appointments, and Christmas bonus. I'm doing the same job and working just as hard. The idea that I earned my benefits before, but now I don't is just ridiculous.

I'm in a different job market. There aren't many law offices in this area and I don't wish to travel to a higher paying area.

With manufacturing jobs gone, there is a lot of completion for the remaining lower skill jobs. Employers have a vested interest in keeping wages low and an oversupply of applicants means they don't have to give perks.

If another law firm opened up, which offered a better compensation package, I'd take it. Until that day, I'll take what's offered.

Wise observation. And most greedy white Republican dudes don't even realize most of the basic benefits they enjoy today were fought for by brave Union folks.

Not too many white Republican dudes out there tryin to help anyone out. In fact, they've consistently fought tooth & nail against just about every advancement in Workers' rights. They are not good people.

Go shove a railroad spike in your eye, you racist fuck

Just stating the truth. You greedy white Republican dudes have only done harm to American Workers. That's your history. American Workers should always work relentlessly to keep you guys out of power.

Which ones? give us a list of greedy white republicans who have harmed american workers. Or, since you won't be able to do that, give us a list of bills that only republicans voted for that have harmed american workers.

You won t believe how little 8.25 an hour buys Oxfam America First Person Blog
Disgusting that this is possible in the "richest country in the world"

For my hard-working family and friends who earn just above the US minimum wage, a paycheck doesn’t go very far.

My daughter struck it lucky when she landed a job for $8.25 an hour at the local movie theater. They pay 25 cents more than the Massachusetts minimum wage (which is already 75 cents more than the federal wage); they don’t charge her for the monogrammed black polo shirt that constitutes her uniform (unlike some businesses); they let her know her hours a few days ahead; and they are, simply put, nice people: film nerds who enjoy keeping an independent theater alive, who don’t mind if she reads a book while sitting in the box office and waiting for the next rush.

Still, it’s a business. Her hours each week never mount up to the point where they’d be responsible for her healthcare (30 hours a week or more); her schedule varies widely; when it’s slow, they let her go (and it’s been a slow year for movies). And, to reiterate: they pay $8.25 an hour.

You can’t blame them; they’re generous at paying more than the legally required wage. But it is, even for my daughter, a measly wage. She lives at home, but she’s scraping together savings for college, living very simply, contributing to the household.

So what her earnings really translate to? I wondered, after seeing this helpful and harrowing piece on What Life Really Costs at $7.25 an Hour.

First, there’s transportation. After taxes, she brings home $7.62 an hour. Last week, after working for 27 hours (and commuting for about 8 hours), she got a check for $205.71. Just to get there and back: Slice the bus fare off the top (2.10 each way; 4.20 round trip; times four): 205.71 – 16.80 = 188.91.

A sandwich = one hour’s work. Some days, when her shift stretches longer than eight hours, she gets a plain chicken sandwich at the place next door: 7.43 (with tax). So she works a full hour to buy a sandwich. Without a drink.

A book = three hours. She loves books and music, and we visit the library every week. But sometimes she likes to buy the ones she loves the very most. Her favorite graphic novelist, Emily Carroll, just published a beautiful new book, Through the Woods. On Amazon, discounted, it’s $18.10. So she worked almost three hours to buy it.

Work shoes cost a day’s pay. We do most of our shopping at Goodwill, but every once in a while, she indulges. She really needed a good pair of shoes as she stands most of the time at work. She got a cheap pair of Nikes at around $50: Basically, a day’s pay.

And what about college tuition? Again, she got lucky: Smith College offered her a whopping scholarship, covering about half the cost. Which left her with a bill of (only) $24,000 for a year, not counting books, art supplies, etc.

So if she wants to cover one year of college – at this deeply discounted price – she’s going to work 3150 hours. Or 61 hours a week for a year. If she wants to go for the full four years… it would take 12,598 hours. Of course, she couldn’t eat. Or pay rent, take the bus, buy shoes, or get her hair cut. At least she can go to the movies…

So she’s lucky in some ways. But so many workers do not enjoy her luck. In fact, the vast majority of low-wage workers do not match this “Poster Child” profile of the minimum wage worker.

Source: the Economic Policy Institute.
Indeed, the average age of low-wage workers is 35. A third have dependent children at home. In our (extremely fortunate)Congressional district, 34,000 working families are using food stamps, and 71,000 are living below the poverty line .

8 hours = 3 big rocks of crack. sad

you are so filled with liberal PC horseshit, that you don't know either party very well. Do you think Soros is not a rich white guy? how about the clintons----rich, white? Pelosi, Reid, Schumer. The more you post, the dumber you look.

They haven't viciously fought against Workers' Rights for several decades. The greedy white dudes who run the Republican Party have.

h1b visas... NAFTA... amnesty...

The list would be too long to post here. Greedy white Republican guy has opposed every single Workers' Rights advancement in history. Their Party Platform is pretty simple, and evil...

Pay American Workers the lowest wages possible, Outsource their jobs whenever possible, and replace them with Illegal Slave Labor whenever possible.

And Republicans wonder why American Workers are turning to the other Party in droves.

Democrats are the pieces of shit who want to open the floodgates to immigration from third world countries and drive down the wages of American workers. Pretty funny that you whine about Republicans when you take a great big shit on the American worker every day.

If anyone is fighting against worker's rights, it's Democrats who are flooding this country with immigrants from third world countries who are willing to work for peanuts.

Again, greedy white Republican dudes love foreign Slave Labor. They've fought tirelessly to keep the border open. And they've Outsourced Millions of American Jobs. But regardless, give us just one Worker Right you greedy white Republicans have ever fought for.

Seattle Restaurants Suffer Worse Job Loss Since The Great Recession
Daily Caller ^ | 07/10/2015 | Connor Wolf
According to a report released Sunday by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the $15 minimum wage has caused Seattle restaurants to lose 1,000 jobs — the worst decline since the 2009 Great Recession. “The loss of 1,000 restaurant jobs in May following the minimum wage increase in April was the largest one month job decline since a 1,300 drop in January 2009, again during the Great Recession,” AEI Scholar Mark J. Perry noted in the report.
