How do we stop "the poor" from being so problematic?

[Aries]

And the 1% gives all you ungrateful fucks jobs, we pay half your god damn taxes, we pay part of your social security and FICA, all the while being shit on self-entitled employees who have been indoctrinated to hate us. We go home to spend time with our families and can't even turn on the news without hearing about how we're not paying our fair share. It's very tiresome. So many of my friends have left this country because of the hatred... There's a saying; don't bite the hand that feeds you...

We are not animals to be fed scraps at your pleasure. You don't know tiresome until you've worked multiple jobs to make ends meet. I have no pitty for the "stress" you face while collecting millions and letting children starve.

Minimum wage jobs are brainless jobs intended for children ONLY.
Stop low-life's from trying to make burger flipping a career.
Health care is already provided at little to no charge to bottom feeders.
Education is already free for minorities and bottom feeders.

Are you a bit confused about how things actually work here?

"Animals" ... We offer you a job (aka give you money for your time/work) and you proclaim yourself ... Oh wait... I get it pig. "Bringing home the bacon" Cute. Although from the sound of it, you're not bringing home enough bacon to support your lifestyle, bummer. Sadly all you can do is either change your lifestyle or find a better job; same thing for us rich folks ya know, if our business goes under we have to do the same. Reality is harsh.

Anyway, I'm enjoying the fruits of my life in retirement right now, but my silly husband refuses to chill out with me and is currently working 20 hours a day, five days a week and has held up to 4 jobs at the same time. I have held two jobs at the same time, as well as running my own businesses when I was younger, though admittedly it was mostly because a local small business or friend of the family needed my help while I was already on a contract. (I tried to avoid double booking as a lot of my jobs took me out of state, or at least out of the city for long periods of time.)

And who is going to pay for all that?

You do realize that minimum wage workers are only 3% of our workforce, don't you?

 

[EverCurious]

Is it that high? I thought it was only 1%. Whatever. I'm not even sure where these folks are at, NO ONE in Alaska makes min wage, nor have they for as long as I can remember. Hell my first job at a shooting range paid $2 over fed min, and my second with Napa Auto Parts, paid $5 over. I've never even met anyone that worked min wage, and I know a lot of liberals too...

Whatever, it's all writ up to "choice you make" regardless of if you're poor or rich. Ya know my son is struggling like a bitch, working two shit jobs right now, but he refuses to come home, refuses to go to college. I want to slap him for being an idiot frankly, but he's 23 so there's not much I can do but whine. He wants things; house, two cars, etc. Stubborn little shit won't even let me pay his rent cause he's trying to impress me with how responsible he is or some bullshit... If the twit were responsible he'd have stayed home and gone to college, but that's a different matter. Like I said, choices you make...

What can and or will be done about it politically?
In keeping with current board rhetoric let's not be scared to get real honest here.
Our poor are our worst parents...they create more of their same.
Our poor suck the most government tit.
Our poor commits the most crime.
Our poor does the most drugs.
Our poor drinks and smokes the most.
Our poor have the most children they can't afford.
Our poor litters and vandalizes the most.
Our poor drives uninsured.
Our poor commits the most animal cruelty.
I could go on and on...and no Libby's, let's not deflect and divert to Wall Street criminals, big corporations..blah, blah, blah...Let's get real, let's get serious about our taxpayer draining bottom feeders....Whatta ya say?

We should solve simple poverty on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States.

 

[BluesLegend]

Since virtually every liberal policy screws the poor, destroy liberals.

Care to elaborate and expand on that a bit Sparky? Specifics please.

Wake up libwit.

Put an end to Welfare and Medicaid. If they don't have a free ride they will have to work and take care of themselves.

Vote Republican, cut food stamps and public housing.

The way you said don't bite the hand that feeds you implies our hours of work don't pay us but your generosity does. I have a fine job to support my lifestyle but I know what it is like to work multiple jobs to pay bills. It's very "tiresome" ya prick.

That is silly indeed, your son had opportunities most young people don't have. An opportunity for support while he gets on his feet. My parents had no way of paying for my education. I took out loans got my degree and paid them back. But the rising cost of living and competitive job market makes a degree almost mandatory. The rising cost of education is putting degrees out of reach for more and more kids....

Throw a lot of money at planned parenthood. That would help one of your points.

but no because......god! or something..

But they ignore God about the poor.

Matthew 19:21 (ESV) “Jesus said to him, ‘If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.’”

I give what I possess to the poor every day.

Note that he doesn't say "Take what others possess, give it to the poor....and you will have treasure in heaven".

You donate to the poor everyday? You know what would me more effective is if you started voting in politicians that create an environment that minimizes poverty and not enhances it.

Haha...your party needs you on the government tit...they create policy after policy that keeps you dependent...it's the only way they can stay relevant...If everybody suddenly woke up tomorrow and was totally legitimate the Democratic Party would die...only kooks, criminals, government employees, and taxpayer tit suckers vote Democrat...ironic?

How are programs designed to be temporary create dependence? It doesn't. Here are two things that create government dependants: 1. Abusing the system, staying on it longer than is necessary. 2. Creating policies that keep wages low, women underpaid, skyrocketing living costs, higher inflation, expensive medical care without insurance, high unemployment rates- so basically anything a typical republican wet dream.

Its called boosting the economy. It pays for itself. When people have more money they spend more money. Even if only 3% work minimum wage jobs an even bigger percentage hovers right over minimum wage. When I use to run a restaurant, when minimum wage got bumped up so did everyone else's pay. If I had an employee making 8 an hour or whatever it was at the time and minimum wage went to 825, then my employees who were already at 9 went to 925.. so a raise in minimum wage would effect a lot more people than you are implying.

Give every American a basic income.

1. no one could then complain about it because everyone would get it.
2. it would eliminate the penalty of the poor going out and getting more income, in the form of a job, as does our current system where the poor start losing government benefits the more money they make,
which means effectively that they are getting nowhere in improving their lives.

I would argue that the poor do not commit more crimes, they are just arrested and put through the system at a higher rate than their wealthier counterparts.

The Intentional Deception of Simplification

It is dishonest to not divide "the poor" into those who got cheated and those who deserve to be poor. So, when people hear "the poor," they assume you're pimping the gangbangers and welfare queens. Also, a deeper perspective would divide "the rich" between those who earned their wealth and those who inherited it or got set up by Daddy's Money.

You have to wonder how rich the rich would be if the poor weren't doing all the work for the rich in the first place.
