I'm sorry guys but there is no excuse and yes the government should do something. If people are willing to work 40 hours they should be able to afford a life. What does it show the kids, work hard barely afford to live? Be smart but not afford college? Try to work 40 hours and support your families but feel like a failure because the jobs won't pay enough?
20% people AND INCREASING people. Who's paying their credit cards and car loans and house loans off?
Why are we the only industrialized nation allowing our businesses to do this? What happened to this "the US sets the standards the rest of the world tries to get to"?
Government can help by raising education spending and making sure we educate our young for better jobs. Government can increase tariffs and tax penalties on companies that outsource jobs.
There are a few on this board that argue for greed and that as long as they have theirs everyuone else can go screw themselves, but, eventually it affects them unless they are in the very elite, because if people can't pay their bills the companies are going to hit the people that can pay harder. Someone has to pay and if the poor can't well the rest will.
IF you refuse to show a man who wants to work 40 hours respect then you only encourage animosity and total rage that eventually will find a release somehow.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
