ahh the old fallacy that "well they must have done something wrong". That excuse has been used for just about every bill that looks to strip benefits to the poor. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. There was a time when higher level execs were taking jobs us kinds normally had because they got laid off for no fault of their own.the irony is, we whine and complain about the poor, while we do everything we can to help the rich, the last people who need it. But that plays into the fallacy, for if they are rich, they must be instantly good people who deserve to be given more, and that anybody who is not as successful as them must be doing it all wrong. I'm not for wages so high that nobody can afford to employ, But I am for making the minimum wage as high as it possibly can be. More money in the hands of many means a stronger economy, and a better standard of living for those people.
