What says that destitute poverty is not all that they have earned? What says the government has a responsibility to provide anything above what the market says a worker should earn? Is there anything that proves any one should be protected from destitute poverty if that is all that they have earned?
dude, the math is so simple it is ridiculous. 20% of the pop = 20% of the pop. there are the same number of people in the bottom 20% as there are in the top 20%. take the total population, rank them by income and then take 20% off the bottom and average their income/expenditure and take 20% off the top and average their income/expenditure. it is the same freakin number of people.
You'll figure it out eventually, or not! It doesn't mean a rat's ass to me, the election is over and the tax rates are about to go up for the wealthy just as the majority of Americans thought they should.

Sure...sounds like a great dystopic future you have in mind. Any society that believes that "earns" the high crime rates and social instability they experience due to that viewpoint.

and the poor will still be just as poor as they are today/were last month
And the gap will continue to widen

Minimum wage has always been about protecting the bottom of the economic pyramid from destitute povery.
Destitute poverty? F'n spare me...
I get so sick of this whiny ass crap about how bad the American "poor" have it. It's old, it's tired, and it's disproven endlessly.
I put up statistics, a liberal puts up a comedian on youtube. On top of that, one that isn't even all that funny outside his "seven dirty words" bit.
I'll take that as a concession.
I'd like to see the 0.6% of the poor folks that have a jacuzzi. :lol:
