Ignoring the minimum wage issue, who cares if the only jobs available are minimum wage? I've worked for varying amounts in my life. If you work for 35 years making $30k per year (sorry, that should probably be $40-50k/year if we're talking a unionized plant job) and you lose your job, for whatever reason, then you get whatever job you can find. If that means you have to dig ditches or shovel shit for a year for minimum wage you do it. Or do people have the "right" to high paying jobs as well? I know union supporters would say yes, but in the real world, no. > Okay, question for you Larry: Do you research the charities to find out which > ones actually use the most for charitable services?
