Now its the poor are the envy of the world and nonsense like that to cheapen the
dreams of the average guy. It used to be we could pay women less they had the
husband or father to look after them, when that failed they were in a position to
exploit children once again. The lat 19th and early 20th century saw kids working

Now its the big corporation paying nothing wages for fast food servers. If the price
of a burger is 12bucks so someone can make at least fifteen I'd pay it so would others

Its not so much what we are paying, should have to pay or can pay. As a society we
have to get control of what the rates of work and conditions should be.
These bottom feeders at the top making millions and even more millions in bonuses
making 700 times the rate the average worker is what is out of control.
Its not the working stiff or the mom and pop operation or small companies its the guys
pushing stocks and sitting atop the major companies being over paid that is the problem
That is what everyone is paying for. I would like to see caps on bonuses and endorsements
by millionaires to sell running shoes done away with
