But this constant drum beat that corporations need to cut their profits in order to give that money away is insanity and verging on the edge of Communism, frankly.

If someone doesn't like working for 7.25 an hour, then they need to go & do something that pays better. If your life's calling is running the deep fat fryer at McD's, then move to where Dell ate lunch the other day - apparently there is a demand for you there as they are advertising 11-13.00 an hour.

That simple, really.


Secondly, your personal experience exactly proves the point. These are stepping stones to greater goals, not life-long careers. You gain a great deal of knowledge, interpersonal relationships, business management exposure, etc. which are all relatable skills further down the line. These are not a careers and one should not be encouraged to feel as though they are.

edited for brevity.


so, you just want to keep the status quo, low pay and taxpayers fill in the gaps?
