You're supposed to get a job digging ditches at 18. You're supposed to have 3 room mates, You're supposed to learn the value of hard work, of sacrifice and money. Your'e supposed to learn a strong work ethic. From that, you're supposed to want more, you're supposed to want to better yourself, educate yourself, improve your skills and to work for the things you want... not sit back and demand them as you do as little as humanly possible. You're not supposed to aspire to make $9.00 an hour as a grown adult and then bitch that life is unfair. The degree to which this nation has been dumbed down is astounding.

Exactly. You have to earn it.
I remember the moment I had my epiphany in the work place. I had been working in a fast food restaurant and I had seniority when the management position opened up. "No one works harder than me" I thought, and I was sure I had the job. I was stunned when they hired a forty-five year old fat single mom who had no motivation in her what so ever. I mean, seriously - she was forty-five and still working in fast food full time? I promised myself I would run circles around her and I did, and six months later she was fired and I got the job.
This is what makes America what is. If you want more you have work more, you have work harder.... And you will be well rewarded.
Wal Mart is an entry level job. Why would anyone pay more than minimum wage for an entry level job? If you are forty-five years old and working an entry level job, you need to take a serious look around and figure out what you did wrong and fix it.
