At one time this country was booming..we had so much manufacturing here...every one lived comfortable with in thier means....mom an pop stores were thriving..farmers were making ends meet and surplus for the next year....welfare was low...

then around the 80's shit hit the fan....CEO's got greedy and started outsourceing..moving to other countries...so industry died here....lost alot of steel mills...now its chinese steel...lost all the electronic industry..it use to be Japan good..now its all chinese goods...

construction was at a all time high then..now its slower than molasses on a cold day...

and most that are unemployed now are mostly professional or in building trades....and todays job wages are dictated on the amount of people out of work..its flooded with unemployed people so companies can set the rate of the job..(low)...

we are a service country now..not a industrial....jobs today are wal mart..Mc donalds...stuff like that...when you see 2 and 4 year colledge grads working wal mart ..lowes something is wrong here....

Then they should get a better job. Everyone else who requires more money for their lifestyle seems to have no issue doing so. Maybe they're just too stupid to get more than minimum wage. Why do you feel others should pay for someone else's shortfallings? I'm too stupid right now to buy a 10 bedroom house for my 10 kids, why am I not the one to blame for that?




I earnt 150 a week, rent was 100 a week, bills not included (other than council tax). I just spent frugally, very frugally. I still managed. Never even had to sell a gram of my weed.

People have absolutely no excuse for trying to live outside of their means. I didn't buy a cat because I couldn't feed a cat, I didn't buy fillet steak because I couldn't afford fillet steak. But texasjoker here thinks that just because he can't afford something, it should be given to him, because he's too stupid to earn enough to afford what he wants. My credit card tells me its my right to buy whatever I want no matter my income so long as its within my credit limit. my bills however still demand that I pay for it. He's basically a ficking retard. Common sense 101, if you can't afford it, you can't afford it. He believes the government should pay for whatever he wants because he's too stupid to be able to buy them himself.

I just did a quick search and in Los Angeles, a single room for rent ranges between $435-$800, $650 being about average, bills not included

Food for one person @ $3/meal (stupid cheap, especially in LA) = $270/mo, call it $250, that's white rice, ramen, that type of shit..

I'd say phone and internet are probably a necessity these days - $10/mo phone bill, $15/mo internet (lowest packages)

Auto repair/insurance - $46.23 Basic, $103.90 Standard, $114.90 Premium, Repairs on a 10 year old car, call it $50/mo

Gas - @$3.78/gallon = $60/tank = 480 miles, fill up twice a month that's $120/mo (extremely conservative estimate, most people I know fill up at least 3 times a month)

$435 + $250 + $25 + $46.23 + $50 + $120 = $976.23/mo

CA minimum wage = $9/hour @ 40 hours = $360/week = $1,440/mo before taxes. Taxes = roughly 1/5 if you're single with no dependents = $1,160/mo

$1,160 - $$976.23 = $183.77 is what you're left with at the end of the month using that extremely conservative estimate


This person is living in one room, eating ramen and rice, with no cable, the slowest most basic phone and internet package (estimate didn't include the cost of the phone), rarely driving anywhere other than to and from work, and has no kids to support, and works full time @ 40 hours/week

Ive always been taught not to create a family if you can't support it. I have no respect for people who bring children into this world knowing that with their job they can't pay for them. But yeah, all the employers fault for not paying enough, nothing to do with the irresponsible employee. Lets legislate a higher wage so those idiots can support the family they knew they could never support to begin with. Maybe I should buy that shiny new audi on credit then cry that its my bosses fault when it gets taken away from me because I can't actually make the credit payments.

Agreed. People have the above attitude towards pets, but for most it doesn't apply to humans. If you can't afford an animal, don't get one. If you can't afford a kid, don't have one.

Yeah, having a child is a right, having the finance to support them is not. So again, of you cannot afford a child, yet you bring one up anyways because its your right, but can't afford to pay for it, how are you anything but a selfish cunt? That would be assuming your right to a child is more important than giving him a real upbringing.

How can you be this irresponsible? Or do you give that little of a shut about the child so long as you can excessive your right to the child?

So what you're saying is, birth control should be provided to women who can't afford it...

Want to solve the problem? No more government welfare of any kind. Sure some people will probably die, but the tree of freedom needs refreshing. No more income tax, that will solve the problem of government growth. No more fiat currency, that will take the power of control away from the elite rich cronies. Money will have to become something like bitcoin ( not necessarily Bitcoin), something that cannot be controlled by a few powerful men, something that cannot be centralized or controlled by anyone but the people.
