kane, go into Walmart and look at the employees. Ask yourself...does that mesh with what you read in those stats?
Do I know people with kids who work at Walmart? Yes. Do their kids get "free lunch" at school? I have no idea. I do know that the girls I know personally at Walmart who have a kid, have enough money to go out to the local bars and to eat out at restaurants and even buy a little weed.
They also get employee discounts on everything in Walmart (which is pretty sweet...I've done some Christmas shopping at K-Mart by giving a friend of mine the money and made out like a bandit with her buying everything with her discount)
I'm not going to subscribe to this b.s. that people with jobs are being mistreated somehow because they are ringing you up at the cash register at Walmart or taking your order at McDonalds.
Why aren't you and I doing that? Why aren't you and I working at Walmart or at McDonalds?
Because we had bigger things in mind. And our money that we make shows it.
Just like a doctor makes more than a guy paving the road. Does the guy paving the road work "harder". You bet your ass he does. But that doesn't mean he "deserves" as much money as the doctor who has the intelligence and the education and skills.
One thing is for sure...99.99% of the people are "worker bees". I don't know why that is. But I'm glad of it. Makes it easier for ambitious people to rise up.
