SOTU- I didnt watch but caught 1 sound byte..............$9/hr minimum wage?

Family of 4? Who the fuck is providing for a family of 4 at minimum wage?

If you're making minimum wage probably shouldn't be having 2 kids.

People get laid off and lose jobs all the time... Their kids don't just stop living. Instead of waiting around for a job that paid your previous salary; you take a job that pays minimum wage so that you can get by.

Let's just subsidize hard times so no one has to deal with it. Let's just subsidize failure. Let's pass a law that says you can't layoff anyone. Or fire anyone.

Yeah that'll work greaaat

The hardest thing to be in america is a financially responsible single person. There's no reward for responsible decisions. The more you do to try and get ahead, the more they chip away at you to take care of someone else. I chose not to have kids so that i could have more financial freedom. My money is taken away to support people who cant take care of their 2-3-4-5-6 kids. Having children is a luxury that you should be responsible for. If you cant afford to take care of children, then quit fucking.

I move closer to work to save money. People who dont work get section 8 housing.
I buy a cheaper cell phone service to save money. People who dont work get free cell phones.
I buy cheaper food to save money. People who dont work get food stamps.
I work extra hours to make more money. People who dont work are issued an allowance on a credit card.

Some people go through hard times at their own hand, the same way people can avoid hard times through responsible decisions. At what point did we just become entitled to a good life? My parents said "you can have anything you work for" not "you can have anything"

The guy with a family of 4 living in minimum wage should be OUTRAGED that Obamas plan to help him is to give him $2/hr more instead of creating an environment where he can get a job like he used to have.
