Do you know any working poor in the US? Perhaps you haven't been reading my earlier posts on the workers over here. Probably 50% of the workers here would love to quadruple their wage and go take one of those poorly paying US jobs that you are complaining about. I live and breathe with workers here, and they get paid less than your working poor in the US. Why do you think the US citizen deserves a better wage than a non-US citizen if they do the exact same job? Lets say a barber. Say a barber in the US makes $10 per hour, and a barber over here makes $2 per hour. Does the wage of the barber over here (a non-US citizen) bother you?

re: They did. The idea being that they always think somebody else should be raising the wages of the working poor even though they don't do that themselves when presented with the opportunity to do so EVERY DAY. You've been away from the country too long. Do you know any working poor in the US? Yeah, they can leave their job at Walmart and get a job a McDonalds for an extra nickle per hour. Speaking of McDonalds, did you hear their french fries are not made just from potato.....apparently, wheat and dairy products are thrown in for good measure. Last time I ever get their fries. ted
