Why do you make so little?
We will speak slowly so you can follow along, OK. People make "so little" because there isnt 350,000 well paying jobs! So if you want to crack on people who are not wealthy as though they are at fault, consider whether you ever want any teachers, or any grocery stores, gas station workers, mechanics or hotels or anything that keeps the country going that we need. These necessitate low income workers so you can brag about living in the best country in the world. Circle of life dummy.
My question is reasonable. $10 an hour still gets someone to $20,000 per year, he makes less than that, and many states have minimum wages above that. It wasn't to "crack" on him. I am genuinely interested. He works part-time? He has a disability? He just wants to work only enough to pay his bills? People in this country do not have to only make $17,000 a year unless they have a serious issue of some sort.
