Come on guys, get real. No one is GUARANTEED a living wage. Where did you get that idea? Oh, yes, SOCIALISM and MARXISM. Those "ISMS" again.
If one job doesn't pay the bills, get a second job. I have a friend who at one time in her life worked THREE part time jobs in order to pay all her bills. True her parents lived close by and could watch the youngest child (the other was grown and married). But the point is, she never felt that she was "guaranteed a living wage." She went out and EARNED it, with three part time jobs.
The problem in the USofA is that there are people long removed from forebears being brought to the USofA on "slave ships" who have been lied to by those who would keep them in poverty, that they are "owed" a living wage. No, dear, you EARN your own living wage.
And who decides what a "living wage" is? The US Government has a "poverty level" index, but I know people who earn less than that level for household size and who do not consider themselves poor. Why? Because they are ingenious. Because they are frugal. Because they do not accept some arbitrary number by the Federal Government.
But then, we have people who are blessed to live in the USofA who do. Arab Slave Traders in Kenya (related to Democrat Presidential Nominee Barack Hussein Obama, Jr) sold Africans (Negro Kenyans and other African Nationals) for transport to the USofA and other nearby island Nations (such as Jamaica in exchange for rum). This was all prior to 1861, so there are no living persons who once were brought to the USofA and sold as slaves.
So why the continued emphasis on "slavery?"
Well, for one thing, it's "easy" to "profile" someone whose forebears were "probably" slaves in America. ONLY because of our own racial prejudices! If you saw a huge black man standing in line at the grocery store, what is the subconscious revelation based on the stimulus? That the man is 1-of African (Negro) descent, and 2-that his parents or grandparents were once US slaves. Automatically. EVEN if you consider yourself an "African American." WHY? Because society has programmed us this way.
And this is what Barack Hussein Obama, Jr, is relying on. Not the truth about his 7/16ths Arab heritage, but his 1/16th African (Negro) heritage. He speaks as though he is ashamed to mention his 1/2 Caucasian/White heritage. He wrote of his mother that: He belatedly realizes that his very fair-skinned mother is sexually attracted to dark men. He pompously intones, "The emotions between the races could never be pure; even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart." And he learned that politically "white women respond to a charismatic black man."
My point here is that "the third" and "Junior" are still playing upon Black's subconscious "slave" mentality, while playing on White's subconscious "slavery" guilt even if neither Black nor White were or owned slaves and even if "Black" is less than 1/8th African Negro and legally an African-American.
Isn't it time to stop? Not as long as "the third" and "Junior" and "Jesse" can milk the guilt. If we, you and I and that big black man standing in line at the grocery store, would quit profiling each other and ourselves, then Martin Luther King, Junior's "dream" would be realized.
