Ready to throw her under the bus?

OK I don't think that is right. But that is just further proof that the min wage is broken. Not that we should take food away from poor children. An honest days work should pay a living wage. Its more proof that the cost of living in Hawaii is F'ed up and that a normal job will leave you impoverished.

You asked for evidence that the degree of socialist systems in America are broken, if you don't like the answer, don't ask the question. It's not that working a normal job will leave you impoverished that's the issue here, it's the fact that welfare pays better in most US states (including this one right here) than a regular, entry level, unskilled job, thus no one wants to take a pay cut to get off of welfare. Unskilled jobs, with no education or training, don't pay well, and most people I've seen on welfare are barely even qualified to ask "Do you want fries with that?" The problem is not the pay, it's the payee, so many lazy people out there. If I were a business owner, and some guy who had been on welfare for 7 years came to me looking for a job and demanded I pay him equal or more than welfare, and I felt he didn't fit the bill to earn that much to start, I'd offer him commensurate to what his labor was worth and allow him to work his way up. That is problem number one with the joblessness here, too many people feel they're work is worth more than it really is and don't want to start at the bottom and work their way up.
