That means there is a ton of people making under $40k a year working full time. Are some of these people lazy? Sure but the majority are not. How the fuck are you supposed to get excited about a job that pays that? Now imagine you need it so you can have health insurance so you don't go broke and/or die. |
And there are tons of people who are not qualified to make good money, don't have the ambition or skills to move up, and many that are plain out too dumb.
Do you really think that YOU would be stuck on the bottom rung of any thing you undertook? Or would you excell at it and move up the ladder?
That's the part of the equation that is being left out here. Some people simply never will have their shit together no matter what the nanny state govt does.
You could hand those kinds of people a million dollars and they will blow it all in a month and be right back to working minimum wage
