[QUOTE="95PGTTech, post: 13458929, member: 55701"] There are two sides to the coin. Yes, there are a very many uneducated, unmotivated losers asking for handouts. There are, unfortunately, an equal amount of hard-working people stuck in bad situations not entirely of their own fault. 1. People who went to college and graduated with a degree in a talent-saturated field because recruiters, colleges, advertisements told them how the field was growing (AKA, mortgage your life to go to our college). They are looking for other gainful employment but need to get by while going on interviews, etc. 2. People who were laid off from said gainful employment (or whose significant other was) and they need something to pay bills while they or spouse look elsewhere. 3. People who are currently going to college and on the right path but need immediate money to pay rent, books, food, gas, car payment, insurance, health insurance, etc. (items scholarships or student loans won't pay for). I'm not sure $12.50 is the answer, but at the same time these major corporations are abusing their employees and using the excuse of "tough economy" to go to all time lows. No unions, no permitted discussion about salary/wages, no full time to deny benefits and keep employees fire-able at any time, etc. You cannot support yourself, even one person, in any market that I know of on even middle management (assistant) pay (usually $10/hr starting up to $11.50). The problem is the consumers - these giant corporations are able to offer all-time low pricing because they abuse their employees like this (among other obvious transgressions). All people care about is price. So long as consumers keep walking through the door because Advance Auto Parts has their alternator for $10 less than the local mom and pop shop, they will keep getting away with it. [/QUOTE]
