Poverty is a criminal offense in America.

[Brian37]

I don't have a car or pay rent. I think that's exactly what traps people into wage slavery. I work around 4 weeks a year and then do whatever I feel like for the rest of the year. Mostly travel and rock climb.

You are leaving something out. 3k does not support anyone in this country, so unless you have help(family giving you shelter and or or someone else is financially supporting you, or government assistance), you are flat out lying your ass off. And you say you travel too? HA!

I admit to having family help myself, but 3k here in the sticks would not cut it.

"Potential income", we are not talking about what you personally want in your life, we are talking about the bottom dropping too much. 57 trillion GDP there is no reason the big boys cant do better in pay for EVERYONE.

Um people like to think of fast food work as simply the bottom rung people eventually climb out of. So if the highschoolers or college kids are in class who is there serving you your food? Who is working at that gas station? Who is cleaning that office? Who is mowing that lawn?

Sorry but it isn't a matter of stopping you from doing what you want with your life. But most people work for someone else, and most people increasingly including the middle class are not getting paid enough PERIOD, no matter where they end up in life.

Japan has janitors and fry cooks too, what they don't have is the pay gap.

Dude what are you even talking about? I was just making a casual comment.

And Capn, thanks for acknowledging that your method is not viable for families which are really a huge part of those who live in poverty.

It's not viable for single people either. I think he has help he is not admitting to.

CPT Awesome would have us believe he lives off of $250 a month with no help. Lying his ass off.
