I don't think every job should pay the same. I don't think any one forces people to take low wage positions. It's your decision to take a low paying job or not.

Regardless, that $15 per hour will drive up the price of that burger and it will all end up relatively the same anyway.
We can certainly say then, that circumstances force people to accept low paying jobs. I don't think all jobs should pay the same either, but I believe that it is inhuman to pay someone a less than livable wage. That speaks to the immoral, arrogant mentality of America as a nation.
Circumstances might force people to take low paying jobs, that's true. I personally know two young people working at least two jobs each to make ends meet. But they're also still in college, planning to do better eventually.
There are those working 3 jobs, due to the inhumane American system.
Call it what you will. I think folks can do more with less, but every other person wants satellite tv, the newest phone or other toys. That's their choice.

There are those that would characterize that as arrogant. Who in the world are you to determine what someone else should have?

I'm no one. I clearly said, it's their choice. Why is the "American system in humane" as you call it?

That's completely irrelevant to the conversation, which is about pay scale. Obviously it's their choice to accept the job versus perhaps no job. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out. The issue is the inhumane wage the person is forced to accept in taking the job. Again who decided that a garbage man should make more than a food worker?

I already clarified that, had you read. Any salary less than sufficient to live on is inhumane.

Why should you get to decide that they should get paid the same amount or that the values should be reversed?

How much does one need to live on? Who makes that decision? You? Or the individual choosing a job that they decided meets their needs?

I believe that all people should receive a livable wage, and apparently you don't. Did you understand me this time?

What world do you live in where people decide their own wage? :'(
