@adamjdw69 Although your comment about half the world lives on 2 dollars a day is indeed true, the big difference is that unlike those countries, here in the US, our poor are surrounded every miniute of every day with the rich, wealthy and all the material products of an otherwise very wealthy nation. Our poor are constantly reminided about all that is vertualy unobtainable to them. Poor in America is not quite the same as poor in Africa.

Well, she can always make a lot more as a hooker since ACORN apparently supports this profession.

@debisis If you're 36 with a MA, you shouldn't be working for minimum wage, you should be working for a lot more. If you accept a job for less than your worth, whose fault is that? Obviously you're worth what you're being paid. Two people think so, your employer because he hired you and you because you accepted the job. You are sold your labor, just like if you sold your car. If you felt your car was worth $6K and someone offered $4K, would you turn it down or complain after you sold it?

You must not understand what minimum wage is for. People working at McDonalds to dip french fries - are not supposed to "make a living" for life flipping burgers. This is to gain experience - move up to management - do more than dip fries in grease- make more money. But Small Business can not afford to start out people on higher wages, so they "don't work out", quit or get fired, and cost the company more to TRAIN more people. People should get paid what the job is worth.

what? If you wanna get paid more you have to EARN IT!!
Tell her to stop buying cigarettes and steaks and nail polishes and to start buying beans and ramen noodles and things she can actually afford.

how do you think people making 7 dollars an hour is enough to live off of? its NOT!!! Prices are way too high and the wages are not high enough to match those prices. A person on minimum wage today is POORER than a minimum wage worker 30 and 40 years ago!! Back then,they were set living wages. Why do you want the poor to be poorer??

Since Minimum wage went up to $7.25 - - - Unemployment has climbed MORE than the past 10 years... Nice job congress.
Minimum wage is not supposed to be a carrer salary. Your supposed to GAIN work experience, dedicate yourself to SOMETHING and MAKE MORE MONEY.
How old is this chick living with mom? Still in high school? WHAT do you think she is TRAINED TO DO? We should PAY her to MAKE MISTAKES ALONG THE WAY???

Raising the minimum wage would not help anything. It would raise inflation yes. Everyday consumer items would become more expensive. But then again people need to make the right choice. I live in missouri and yes people get cut here all the time but I get fucking raises out the ass because I WORK MY HARDEST EVERY SINGLE DAY. I EARNED what I fucking get. it is hard now but somewhere in their past they made a bad choice and this is what they get.

some of you are pretty clueless. i work at the gap, and this young girl reminds me of my situation. i'm 36 with a MA in fine arts..and I make less than nine bucks an hour, being required to sell, sell, and pitch gap cards. yet i get paid a small wage with not commission or incentive. i live in America where idiots like some of you tell me and this young girl to work harder in order to get more money. GO FU*K YOURSELF.

I graduated from programming school (Chubb) in 1999 with a degree in computer programming (not an easy thing to do). I workd as a programmer for 6-weeks while going to school at night part-time until I graduated. When I graduated, I could not find a job. Only job I found after over a year of looking was at RADIO SHACK, working for minimum-wage. Which destroyed my credit, and my relationship. You cannot pay rent on minimum-wage. expenses. you move back home! Even my professors were laid-off!
