If someone is working 25 hrs a week at Lowes, that's 100+ hrs a month. Lowes avg starting pay is around $11 an hr, and if he's been there any decent amount of time would be making more than that. So he' either isn't working 25 hrs a week at Lowes, or he's making a lot more than $800 a month at Lowes to be taxed on.
Oh dear. Where to start.....(I'm typing verrrry slowly so try to keep up..); you see, BDMBSQT, they call them average starting wages because some starting wages are higher, but some other wages are....wait for it....lower. Now I understand you being skeptical of what my young friend has told me, so if you go here: http://www.gajizmo.com/best-part-time-j ... -benefits/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; you will see that hourly pay for part-time Lowe's employees is between $7.25/hr and $12.00/hr depending on experience and geographic location. Now my young friend may be lying, I admit to not checking his facts closely, but if he is, the facts pertaining to the part-time pay at Lowes do seem to lend credibility to his story. This is the second time you've demonstrated a rather eyebrow-raising lack of knowledge about the day-to-day life of ordinary Americans, BDNOCLU, perhaps you could have one of the maids or the chauffeur educate you about what is going on out there past the end of your driveway? While we're here I guess we need to ask if you have any other idiotic questions pertaining to working for a living? You know, before you make a public spectacle of your imbecility? Run along now, there's a good fellow....
Illinois $8.10/hr
Missouri $7.65/hr
Kentucky $8.15
...not $7.25/hr.
Wage poll shows Lowes LOWEST starting pay is $8.00/with 6 mos steps.
At the lowest hiring step his monthly gross is $866.

However, following your logic, you are asserting that the collapsing middle class is due to a tiny portion of people hoarding the finite pot of gold.

That's called "envy" or "coveting", and they're a mental disorder, not an economic theory.

What point?houndawg wrote:... totally missing the point...
The Rationalizingdonk narrative that big, bad corporate America has financially subjugated the poor and downtrodden forcing them to drop out of the workforce to seek non-documented methods of earning a living thus skewing the workforce participation statistics?
Really?
And I thought it was a seasonal phenomenon resulting from workers forced to quit to avoid the seasonal migration of maneating Canadian Geese.
You do understand people can work for themselves?
And pay taxes.
And save for retirement.
And afford healthcare.
And raise a family (more than one).
And live a healthy, recreational life.
And do so by creating products and services that help others.
And further creates jobs for others.
Without Wall Street or Big Government hanging around to instruct them how and when they may piss.
Put your fucking pot pipe away and start using your brain.
Stop following the sheeple narrative.
Yes, it is the road less travelled...
...because IT'S NOT THE EASY PATH.
BUT...
...it's rewarding.
...it's challenging.
...it works.
...it's the right thing to do.
Densey, grow up and be a man. Stop rationalizing stupidity.

Please define "the American Dream". Is it Teddy Roosevelt's Square Deal? Is it a house with a white picket fence?
How?
I actually doubt it's been as much a coordinated hit, but more a continuation of Reaganomics.
Also, according to Densedawg, retirees are scum parasites. Does that include his parents? Grandparents?

I did not see any "national corporate employers" on the list. It's a long list and I admit I didn't see it all. Most are schools, small government and entities like the Mexican American Opportunity Foundation and Tsunami Surf Shops. I think we both would agree that the cost cutting actions taken by them, especially the schools, universities and gov, are a good thing, but that's another thread.
Also, many of the cuts were 30 hours down to 29 hours, and they weren't getting medical coverage in either scenario. At least with Obamacare, they now can get affordable insurance if they want. Very affordable.
Let's try it again, Tman.
