Minimum wage is already “livable”

[SweetTea]

You advocating abortion choice?

Or maybe not getting pregnant in the first place. I mean, that is an option you know.

Ya know what they call black women in Texas who are forced to keep unwanted pregnancies?

Mothers AND Welfare Queens

What percentage of pregnancies are the result of rape and failed birth control vs simply not being cautious? Just curious.

So black women who have children are now on welfare? Wow, your true colors are showing. Anybody that is on welfare, no matter their race, should probably figure out what causes babies and try to take some precautions. Those that aren't are welcome to have as many as they would like.

Ok Let’s go there

Can you show me any Republican depictions of Welfare Queens that did not feature Black Women?

I think you and I must be the only ones on this thread who have heard of birth control.

How about the Lt. Gov we just elected in Virginia? You know, the one the liberals on CNN called a white supremacist.

Certainly less than 1%.

A living wage means a wage which covers the cost of living. MIT created a calculator which takes the average cost of basic necessities, such as groceries, utilities, childcare, gas/vehicle upkeep, etc., in different states, and calculates how much would be needed per hour on a full time basis to meet those costs. According to MIT, there isnt a single state where a single adult can meet the cost of living at the federal minimum wage. And when you get into families with children, the cost of living is even higher.

The funny part is liberals high fiving about a $15 minimum wage, and pretending it will eradicate poverty, even though it still wouldnt meet the cost of living in many families, especially in stes like New York and California.

Instead of a federal wage, each state should have its own minimum wage based on the cost of living in that state. States with lower prices would require lower wages, and states with higher prices would require higher wages. It still wouldnt cover everyone, since it would be based on average prices, but it would still bring far more families to a living wage than a federal wage would.

CA and WA set their own minimums but there are problems there as well. The minimum works for most of CA, but SF, LA and San Diego, the cost of living is MUCH greater than the other parts of the state and those low wage earners have to commute in---which is another problem all together.

I copied and pasted directly from the USDA SNAP page. If you have different information then give us a link, "because you said so" is not really good enough .

I am sorry that you cannot read. Keep looking and you will find exactly what I stated.

I guess you haven't been in a store with a deli in at least 5 years.

Either that or you can send me my normal fee for teaching of about $30 an hour.

What’s so confusing? You asked if Republicans ever consider a Black woman as anything other than a welfare queen, and I reminded you that Republicans voted in a black woman as Lt. Gov of Virginia.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

We have this thing called the Bill of Rights ... so no. Regardless of how much it annoys anyone that people are producing children simply to get more welfare.

OK, where in the Bill of Rights does it entitle them to welfare?

HEY! WAIT A MINUTE!!!!

HEY! WAIT A MINUTE!!!!

Oops….excuse me. Ray is a responsible guy, too.

(Or as my aunt used to remind me when I was a young lady, “no glove, no love!”)

You advocating abortion choice?

Are you advocating abortion is the only way not to have children?

Hitler

What Hitler? Having welfare people do what working people do all the time?

 

[rightwinger]

Let me see?

What Government since Hitler has advocated that those on welfare be sterilized?

Looks like YOU and Hitler

Read the title, stupid

I read the title and one of my first posts on the subject was that people can't afford those things alone. They can live at home with their parents, get a roommate AS THE OP STATED but not have their own apartment yet alone kids or a house. It was like that over 40 years ago and it's like that today, because 40 years ago people who worked low wages stayed at home or got a roommate.

Nothing changed.

 

[rightwinger]

Are you advocating abortion is the only way not to have children?

Well, what is it?

Should a pregnant woman on welfare abort or keep the child?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

You know what Republicans call black women who decide to keep their babies?






Welfare Queens

If they are on welfare, yes we do. We call women of any race that who are on welfare.
