House Raises Minimum Wage

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

i believe i am managing my money well. most of my coworkers are in debt. I recently bought a trailer in my trailer park fixed it up and sold it at profit and am subletting the land beneath it. I have plans for a small minimal risk business and have already taken on an unpaid intern who needs experience and training i offer and also i'm giving him a share of the profit. Most of my money as of now is going towards my impending marraige, besides which a second income even if its minimum wage part time would help make ends meet.

You'll note i never said i wanted the state to mandate the raise. This only costs more people like me their jobs because as wages raise so also does unemployment (that money does come from somewhere) and a low paying job beats the hell out of non at all.

I am quite capable of handling money I'm not as stupid as you believe i just live in a poor region. I live rather comfortably for someone in my financial situation so i'm happy right now. But you know what they say about the rich man and his money, he'd trade it all for a little more.

Not everyone has the oppertunities you have. In the Phillipines you work 10 hour days for 35 cents an hour, do you think they are poor cause they don't work hard enough? My life is going just fine but your sense of entitlement is rather odd to me. A lot of people work a hell of a lot harder then you and make much much less.

I once read that people who make more than 50,000 a year tend to believe in karma and that hard work always pays off, and the those who make less are 30% more likely to believe that's not always true.

Just cause all lazy slackers (at least ones not born into wealth) are poor, doesn't make all poor people lazy slackers.
