We all understand that a high minimum wage is very important to you, _Richard_ and signupdamit. When you have no skills, no education and no real ability to make money in the very business you've been in for years... the future has to look pretty bleak. Add on top of that your mom bitching that you didn't make your bed, your dad threatening to throw you out of the house and add to that, the constant worry of your bicycle getting stolen and life has to be pretty stressful.

These issues are about what we expect of people. What society expects of people. What standards a society has. What standards a society wants to hold its people to.... and what we expect of each and every person. The "American Dream" was never "get a low paying job and then demand more from society".

The message "hey no-skilled assholes who have no value in the workplace because you have no skills, experience or education - you deserve more". is not a great message. I will pay for it directly with higher costs. I will pay for it indirectly as we continue to create a society that - instead of demanding the best effort from everyone and that expects everyone to strive for greatness is slowly being replaced with self entitled idiots who know absolutely nothing about how the world works and believe they need to be rewarded for non-achievement.

The message should be "you need to keep moving up. You need to keep working harder. Keep improving your skills. You need to keep improving your education and INCREASE YOUR VALUE in the workplace. Not simply demand more for a job you shouldn't be doing for more than a year anyway... because its not a career, nor was it ever meant to be"

I am not uber wealthy. I don't try to be. I try to enjoy my life. I don't think I am better than anyone because of my bank account. I think I am better than those who don't try.. because I and those I choose to surround myself with, do.

Thats how the USA will remain an economic super power. By vilifying success and those who work 80hrs a week and risk it all... and instead letting the inmates run the asylum. Makes perfect sense.
