Even though we had little money to spare I wouldn’t have considered us in the working poor category. We never were in danger of missing a meal.

I was in the working poor category after the Army and married with kids. We had to budget for 1 pizza and Blockbuster night a month.

I truly doubt that. Are you depending on tips to pay your staff?

Swampy I bet you are one of those people that have 5 drink refills, needs something every 2 minutes and stiffs their server with either no tip or $2.

Wouldn’t raising the wage for servers increase the menu prices? Who would pay for these increases?


I guarantee you if you paid a server $15 an hour with no tips the industry would probably lose at least 80% of servers.

You are confusing 2 different things.

I believe bearded or swampy stated that over 20 million households made under 25k and said it was the working poor. The math didn’t add up anyway as 14.1 % of 131 million equals around 18.5 million.

The thesis of the argument doesn’t apply to social security or disability.

Actually volhill said anyone making under 25k was lazy or it was a choice...he didn't differentiate between ss or ssdi. A person can live on 25k..it just won't be a lap of luxury..
But you can have a roof and food and and even a used vehicle..it the spoiled 1st world issue that people today think luxuries are owed to them instead of earned.

Kidding talks about $500.00 dinners out. Many don't take home that after a week's work.

Some like Ruth's cris and copper cellar other are happy with shoneys and still some splurge at Scott's on Clinton hwy. No need to look down your nose at any, but some do, doc does .
