Yeah..... that may be true but circumstances now have forced many to

suffer
with it as a "living" wage.


Yeah that's the same "victim" argument some of my friends made when I went
to college and they didn't. But I sacrificed to go to college. My parents
didn't pay for it.

I worked a minimum wage job, lived at home, did not buy a car, did not buy
records and so on. I put the money aside and did without so I could go to
college. So that "circumstances" argument is pretty shakey. And don't try
the "pregnant and alone teenager" argument either. I knew some of them in
college and they made it too.

People allow themselves to fail and become victims of circumstance.

The
average wage around here, what is considered the alleged "living" or

minimum
wage is between $5.25-6.00 per hour.


Keep in mind that the minimum wage was NEVER intended to be a "living"

wage.
