How many billions of taxpayer dollars did we provide to the Wall St flunkies who did that? And how many billions did they pay themselves fat bonuses with?

It looks like you don't grasp this thing.

So....what is the responsibility of the recipient class other than procreating and demanding "rights" at the expense of others?
See the first point, above.

Even if I hired a homeless person to stuff & mail envelopes for an hour, could you really justify giving them a $5 bill and asking for change?

I'm actually wracking my mind trying to think of what kind of work would be worth $3 for an hour. A high schooler mowing your lawn? Your 8 y/o kid doing chores?
Oh, I'm sure you'll find plenty of wingnuts that would say any manual labor job is worth more than $3 an hour. Wage slavery is alive and well in the GOP. Of course, whatever job they might hold is not paid enough.

IMHO if you think a job is worth only $3 an hour you can do it yourself. I'll be glad to sit around and supervise for nothing.

Apparently the burger flipper made the foolish decision to flip hamburgers instead of opening a hamburger stand.

So wage slaves CHOOSE to be wage slaves.

Yes, that is how supply and demand works. If you provide no specialized skill, knowledge, or capability then you add very little value and your labor will not command a premium price.

Employees can only move elsewhere to more money if they can find a job that pays more in many cases they can not.
And that should send a signal that it is time to enhance their marketability with some new skills.

How do you measure the value added by a cashier?

And how do you get new skills if you can't afford education or training? I can learn myself accounting but that's not going to get me an accounting job.

I agree. White males are greedy ungrateful pigs and need to carry their own weight for a refreshing change. Let the laws be written applicable only to themselves to limit their 'freedom' to abuse all others, and let them pay for their jailer all by themselves.

YEP, all those burger flippers passed up all them there golden opportunities because they like minimum wage jobs, and those grease fumes all day are great for their complexion.

There are already laws which protect one citizen from from another.

It's called The Constitution.

Read it sometime!

Why would someone with any marketable skills be a burger flipper?
