well isn't that the darnedest thing we complain about people living on "the government tit" yet some jobs don't pay a wage you can't live on. What are these people supposed to do? Drop a bunch of money for college that *Might* get them a better job? or should they just use some magic spells to make more cash? Lets face it, Either we subsidize people with government money, or we make minimum wage affordable.l

All of which makes one wonder when we recall statements like this:

Okay, so institutions of higher education are indoctrination centers and should be avoided, but just don't expect a livable wage from the employment options that come without a bachelors degree, because we're not doing anything about the minimum wage. Shut the hell up and get back to the fryer.

And people wonder why the GOP is losing traction with the voting public.
