I dont think enough workers are able to survivie without the wages they bring in.

They should be getting a higher wage, but they can not risk what they are getting now.

I stuck with too many jobs that I was not happy with because I could not be without health care and a salary. And I was in a lot better shape then a fast food worker.

Of course because of those decisions, that is why I have been unemployed for over 3.5 years. And off unemployment for 1.5 years. So I am not counted in any unemployment roles.

low wages and record breaking corporate profits, the rich getting richer, wall (fraud) street bandits getting bailed out, Jon Corzine and his gang of bloodsuckers escaping formal charges and facing lawsuits before a bench that is already in their goddamn back pockets, on and on, it is so SICKENING!!!!!
