So get 2 jobs if that's what you need to pay your bills
You are responsible for yourself. Your employer is not.
And it's funny how you always mention color yet I never have in any of these discussions
Because at the end of the day, it's ALWAYS about racism and how racism is used to keep white people voting against their own economic interests.
And FYI I am all for getting rid of social security and letting people own their own retirement accounts but people like you don't want them to
No, I just look at my 2008 401K statement from the company that illegally fired me when I had medical issues. The one where I took 60% losses after selecting the supposedly "Safe" investments. Watching thousands of dollars you put to the side for retirement vanish into the ether makes me glad we have social security.. But by all means, I think your side should go out there and scream 'Get rid of social security and Medicare, you guys should be taking care of your own parents!!!"
Your side (yes, I know you keep pretending you don't have one) won't ever openly advocate that. I honestly wish they would.
And I actually pay unemployment TAX (not insurance) you don't
Again, by all means, advocate getting rid of that. Please. Please, please, please please do that.
Let's be honest what unemployment insurance is. It's exactly that, it's insurance. It's paying to preserve the investment made in training employees so they don't take "whatever' when they get laid off. You see, used to be, being laid off meant exactly that. YOu were laid off when work was slow and brought back when it picked up. Today, they fire a bunch of people and hire a bunch of new ones for less money. Welcome to the McJob economy.
No one is cheating anyone in case you didn't know this no one is forcing anyone to work at McDs or Walmart and no one is stopping them from using the work experience gained at those jobs to get a higher paying job somewhere else.
You just seem to think that a guy who never wants to do anything buy greet people at the door or stuff burgers and fries into little bags should be paid 50K a year
50K? No. 30K? That's actually kind of reasonable.
Frankly, I see that as being a lot more sensible and better policy than paying an Auto or bank Executive 8 figures for failing so badly the Government has to spend billions to save his company and prevent larger economic collapse. Or paying an Insurance CEO NINE figures for finding ways to cheat policyholders out of insurance they've already paid for.
You see, guy, as I said. I used to be a Republican. I tried it your way. It didn't work.
Now I'm ready to try something else.
