(583 posts)making minimum wage very long. It's called starting at the bottom, which is what I did, making 5 dollars an hour.
I worked hard, gained experience, and now I earn a very good living. This is how %99 of successful people did it.
A small percentage got a life and a fortune handed to them, and no it's not fair that money grubbing Wall St tycoons get rich of the hard work of others, pay no taxes, and laugh at the working man, so you can sit around bitchin about it or you can go out and build a life for yourself.
That was the point of my OP.
By the way, if you can't work, at least in my state, you are provided food, shelter, and excellent health care. If the people who could work but don't would get off there ass there would be plenty of resources for the folks that can't. So if you want to put the blame on why there isn't enough provided to the disabled, you should be pointing your finger at the able who take from the system when they should be adding to it.
