If you live in Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, Idaho, Louisinia, Indiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Texas and Wyoming and are a minimum wage earner you will be living under the standards of people living in Guam. Guam's Minimum wage will be $5.75 per hour effective July 1st 2007.......Freaking Guam

It's the American dream, to live in a country where you can make less than $6/hour, have no healthcare, and have your house and land taken away by the bank or government if you get sick or hurt and can't pay your bills. We could have a revolution if everyone wasn't too busy working and watching tv.

So what do you plan to do about it?

I'm moving to guam...lol...Kidding. I just think its a slap in the face from the State government in all of the above mentioned states. There are other states that operate at the federal mandated $5.15 an hour rate but they have plans in action with dates that the rate hikes will occur. The States I mentioned have no such plans and in effect don't beleive its peoples are worthy. I disagree and have made contact with my state government voicing my opinion, but I am just one voice and don't know if I can piss enough people off to have any effect or not.

and what the fuck are you doing to help? i hope a revolution happens and it throws everything into chaos, and we can all blame your stupid hippie ass. state-mandated healthcare is a nightmare waiting to happen. you think its going to simply be people having access to coverage with no ifs, ands or buts? fuck no. state run healthcare means the state can start to tell you what to eat and how to live, because of all the fuckheads who will go to the ER for a sniffle. wake up.

Thank the open borders and all the illegal immigrants they let in for the minimum wage and the likes for being so low.

ah yes, and time and time again, these revolutions started by purveyors or liberal youth culture will CONTINUE to fail and make no real change. its because yer all pacifists. pacifism is an excuse to take no action

secession is the only answer, but it may require some violence to fulfill. so that means all the pacifist hippies are out



FAIL

How many people actually stay on minimum wage for a very long time in entry level jobs?

Around here, buisinesses keep people on minimum wage. Raises are a joke and are only in increments of like 25 cents every 3 years.

Well minimum wage jobs do have the highest turn over but with companies like walmart trying to get rid of all full time positions below dept managers it is getting harder for unskilled labor to move up and are remaining on the job longer i'm assuming for lack of options.
