I see a lot of people say there needs to be jobs for kids so let them flip burgers and work at gas stations but the problem is they make up a really small portion of the job market. Most people working minimum wage are adults supporting themselves or a family. When those shitty jobs screw them out of health insurance and livable wages tax players have to pay for their health insurance, their food stamps and their welfare. If your cool with paying The Walton's bills while they stack their billions that's on you. Me personally, I'm decidedly not cool with that. Adjusted to inflation, time magazine did a piece that said American's make less 10 years ago, 20 years ago 30, 40, 50, 60 years ago. The cost of living has gone up tremendously. The rich are only getting richer and if you don't see this is a problem then you need to wake the fuck up. Just felt I had to post this after reading some comments on this forum.

Oh and here's my source for the part of about most people on welfare being employed. If you say WSJ has a liberal bias you're absolutely retarded.
