It absoulutley disgust me that a large portion of society has so little respect for the middle class. Once our manufacturing jobs are gone, they are gone and they are not comming back.
Once again, entitlement clogs the brain...

$12 per hour is more than what I was making when I worked my way through college and paid for my own health insurance. My parents didn't pay. That's also why they invented grants and student loans. Now I make way more than that. If it's not enough pay, get a better job, or a second job, or a better education. Nobody said you are stuck forever in that one job.
