You are NOT entitled to a four bedroom house, two cars in the driveway, a summer home in the Hamptons, four weeks vacation, JUST FOR WASHING DISHES OR FLIPPING BURGERS.
You are paid what you are worth, regardless of how much you need that money.
Human labor is shopped the same way as any other item. So far, nobody will deliberately pay $10 a gallon for gasoline (although if Joe has his way, we could be seeing that down the line). We shop for cheaper gas.
Employers shop labor. They will not pay any more than the labor is worth.
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS, SNOWFLAKES.
A dishwasher does not earn as much as a cardiac surgeon.
A burger flipper does not earn as much as an engineer.
An unemployed college graduate with a Masters in Lesbian Dance Theory does not earn as much as a community college educated plumber who is high in demand.
That's just the way it is.
You want more money, get off your fat ass and EARN it. Demanding it from government makes you an entitled ass hole.
Suck it up.
