what the government is paying them to stay home far exceeds the 15$ per hour even they are asking for. this is an engineered attempt to crash the economy and middle class.
Sugartits, it's EXACTLY about starvation wages. Run along and play with your dolly. Grownups are talking.

again it's not. i had to close my mobile service because of this. my lead tech was making 27.00 an hour averaged 65 hours per pay period, and he quit because he could make more at home.. his wife made more money than he did. then grandma who was still working as well moved in. they figured out that they could make almost 60 dollars per hour and then get a supplement for their kids. they have 10 kids. they make more money now in direct cash food health care and child care credits then they every could at work.. which is saying alot because before he quit he bought a 300K home. so now instead of working their asses off for 80k a year they get paid much more by the government to stay home. or at least this is what ive been told by him and have not seen or heard from him since. one of my other guys is talking about it as well as his parents are doing something similar. and mom is a nurse. same money no long hours.
