Low-Wage Jobs Cause More Problems Than They Solve

[Big Battery]

When a walmart part time employee uses the emergency room for his doctor because walmart won't provide insurance so the waltons can grow their fortune to 200 billion we all pay for that persons medical care.

Or when that same employee gets food stamps because of the lousy wages we are all paying for that persons dinner.

When a guy that fishes uses the emergency room for his doctor visits because fishing wont provide insurance then we should tax all fisherman to cover his health care.

Sound ridiculous, huh?

The sad part is libs think this is okay. I have to pay $120.00 out of pocket to use the ER I work in. I avoid the ER to save money, while no-pays go for the ER for the sniffles or a bellyache. And obamacare isn't going to cut down on ER use by the poor. They will all be placed in medicaid which many physicians do not accept and can have co-pays.

The analogy sure does.

Oh yeah, this is about low wages.

Well good for you and another touching personal story. The problem though is wages so low people can't afford the essentials. We end up paying taxes that supplement Walmarts and other companies profits because their employees collect some form of welfare. We have people collecting welfare that have more than if they worked a 40 hr a week job.

Well, first off the low wage earners are paying little or no income tax anyway. If we would quit voting in people that give away food stamps and Obama phones like they are candy, these people might have the motivation to improve their skills and education and get a real job.

Why do we have to give special Visa's to bring in over 100,000's of foreign workers to pick our crops? This money goes out of the US, no different than out sourcing to China. Have you ever heard of an American going to Mexico to find work ?

These workers do what they have to do to take care of their family. Not sit around and wait for their Government check.

I read an Article, that I will try to post. In the Southeast crops are rotting in the fields and no one will work. Ten thousand seasonal workers are needed, and less than 200 Americans applied for the positions. Why ?

Agriculture is one of the few jobs that we actually can still create in this Country, and we have to pay someone else to harvest it and send the money out of the Country because Americans don't want to get their hands dirty.

We are so screwed.

Ahhh the same old 47%'s B.S. LMAO. What does harvesting pay anyway? Just curious. Also could you provide some links to back up the claim about who does the harvesting that isn't AUTOMATED.
