    The "Living Wage"

    Scenario; Two men, both electrical engineers, live next door same size lot. ManA, married, no children, 1000sq foot home, 1BR 1B. ManB, married, two children, 5 and 6, 2000 sq foot home, 3BR, 2B. Both work at the same corp, both hired same day. Obviously ManA's cost of living is much lower than ManB's. Should the "living wage" for ManA be less ??
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Thats not the example liberals use,

    Man A and B live next door to each other, Man A does not work, Man B gets up works 60 hrs a week, man A is underprivledged and deserves free stuff from man B its even worse if Man B is white and man A isnt

    True, but sliding of topic. I'd like some honest explanations of a "living wage", how it's determined and who decides by those that advocate said wage.

    A living wage depends on who defines it.
    Trump needs vast amounts of cash to keep his secrets from becoming public, with little success.

    I can comfortably live on the value of my pensions. I bet I am far happier than he is.

    *A living wage depends on who defines it.* ............. Then who defines and how would it be defined ?? .............. The rest of your post is partisan tripe, therefore dismissed.

    I think we all know what 'living wage' means, but in reality it does not work.

    I laughed. You are not. You obsess over Trump. Trump doesn't know you exist. That, no doubt, makes him far happier than you can imagine.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    I would have thought it would be defined by the standard of living one is prepared to accept.

    Yes, in accordance with the skills they offer to the organization that pays them. Should "one" be paid beyond those skills to support ones self or support a family ??
