Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Should you expect to be able to raise a family on a minimum wage job?

Ok, I can go somewhere with this. I do believe millennials less interested in climbing the ladder than previous generations. We are more content with less.

People do work, they’re scum for wanting to be paid enough to live.
Keep the average workers pay stagnant, for 50 years, then cry about how rich people pay all the taxes.
Claim it’s the governments job to protect people, make a bunch of excuses why the government shouldn’t protect people.
It’s the same notes over and over again. Yawn.
Who has kept the average workers pay stagnant? Do they have a name? Do you believe that people with job skills that only command a minimum wage in compensation should be able to support a family of four off that job, yes or no?
And, I know, strawman. But your obvious bait is obvious. Stop begging for it.
I’ll give you what you want. Yes, you should be able to raise a family on minimum wage.
Disagree.
Save the uber-rich and invalids .... The whole point of life - the American dream - is to climb a ladder to something better. If the first job you come across is shoveling shit and that's all you have for the rest of your life, then sure minimum wage should be higher.
But the point is to grow, to something better, for more. And you use the lesser jobs along the way to grow and improve your skills.
Further it's a dangerous, cancerous mentality to remove the incentive to create more for yourself and your family. If you remove incentive, you breed a society of invalids.

I’m sure it’s taxes and regulations holding everyone down though. Definitely not rich people with their boots on throat of the poor. Give them more power, it’ll trickle down.
Would Faye would call her rise up the ranks "false hope".
Axeing for a fren.
The poor aren't taught that. At all.
They are lulled and deluded into thinking somebody else (usually the government) will take care of them.
It's like the frog and the boiling water. They won't know how fucked they are until there is no chance left.
We could go down endless rabbit holes on this topic.
The only thing I know for sure, is the values taught in our schools right now is what is behind the removal of incentive from our society. Whether it was meant to be or not.
Most millennials were in school on 9/11. Our first experience with another culture was watching buildings with thousands of people inside them collapse to the ground. And you guys can’t figure out why we’re so sensitive to people with different cultures. You tried to sell us on hating them. They hate us for our freedom. You’re with us or against us. But it didn’t take. We didn’t buy it.
The you started a war with a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. For oil. For money. For geopolitical power. And you guys can’t figure out why we won’t obsess over money and power? Why that’s not what drives? Why we don’t want to be like that?
Our values were taught to us unintentionally. We watched the older generations and we learned that that’s not who we wanted to be. There’s no grand conspiracy. You guys are assholes and we noticed.
Any generalizations about boomers or millennials is soft and lazy
We were there first and we hated the greatest generation
I dislike you because you're a cunt.

I don’t feel like a victim. And based on what you say right after that I’d call it a projection. Which we’ve learned your generation loves to do.RaceBannon said:

The Trump supporter has a problem with generalizations. Ok, buddy.
I think your point about the greatest generation and then hippies is fair. Maybe this is a phase or just what youth is. That’s not what I see but I’ve been wrong before. -

You're soft and lazy. You've never really had to go without much. Most of you didn't have high-school jobs, most of you didn't spend your summers having to work. When you live in a country where even the poor have iPhones and TVs and cars and cable TV and video games and the internet you kill the incentive in some of those people.
Needing to work in order to eat is a great motivator. -

And, I know, strawman. But your obvious bait is obvious. Stop begging for it.
I’ll give you what you want. Yes, you should be able to raise a family on minimum wage.
Save the uber-rich and invalids .... The whole point of life - the American dream - is to climb a ladder to something better. If the first job you come across is shoveling shit and that's all you have for the rest of your life, then sure minimum wage should be higher.
But the point is to grow, to something better, for more. And you use the lesser jobs along the way to grow and improve your skills.
Further it's a dangerous, cancerous mentality to remove the incentive to create more for yourself and your family. If you remove incentive, you breed a society of invalids.

I’m sure it’s taxes and regulations holding everyone down though. Definitely not rich people with their boots on throat of the poor. Give them more power, it’ll trickle down.
