Thoughts on Slavery and the Welfare State.

[Nebe]

Slavery still exists. It's everywhere. It's called minimum wage. People work their entire life just to survive.

Progressives, not free marketers, were the ones who created minimum wage.

Stop reading Salon and open your eyes.

Did you ever have a minimum wage job, and if so, how did you free yourself from the "Shackles of Slavery"?

I see no one responded to this meaningful, challenging, fair question.

Nebe, not every single job in our society, can pay a wage that an adult can live on. The guy who owns a small pizza parlor, cannot pay his busboy and cashier, $40,000 a year. The math doesn't work, not even close.

I rose above minimum wage by listening to people who I trusted, who told me how to live a stable life. It's harder than it should be, there are more pitfalls and traps than there should be, but its within reach of most of us.
