  • USA -modern slavery --- work for little with no benefits or die of hunger

  • @TheAnonymouz I've lived off of between $15,000 - $20,000. I now make almost twice that. I paid for school, public transpiration, shelter, and some clothing. I made the tactical decision to buy a car. Why, to finish up school. I could work the same crappy job and actually 'save' more money. In the past 1.5 years I've spent $20,000 between my car and it's insurance.

    Why do I spent the money? I want something more out my life.

  • One room apartment and mandatory food choices.

  • @TheAnonymouz How can you live on that?

  • $50,000 a year or less?

    How about $25,000 year or less?

    I live off of $14,000 a year.

  • I agree, he is really good at covering a great deal of info in a clear and understandable manner.

    I'm currently reading his book "The Working Class Majority" and am impressed. I'm glad he is helping bringing light to the forgotten majority of Americans.

  • A Phenomenal instructor with significant intellectual insight concerning the declining economic state of working class citizens in America.
