$500 bonus is maybe, barely one month car payment, dude. after taxes, less. $14/hr is a joke. if your single the income taxes, medicade, ss, ui and state income taxes are at least 25% - 35%, then subtract obama care extra payment at the end of the year, gas tax, meals tax, sales tax...your lucky to have $7. Have you been listening to the news or not? between taxation and inflation, you can't even afford to get to work for $14 an hour: you would literally loose money to go to work. And if you did, then what, live in a cardboard box? hahahah.
Ok, so I'm off topic a bit. This fake incentive to go to work just because there are job wanted signs isn't even a race related thing, it's a SOCIALISM HAS SUCKED THE BLOOD OUT OF OUR ECONOMY thing. And believe me, as a former employer, I feel that side of the issue as well. The economics are broken on all sides.
