People earning minimum wage don't generally have families.


Where did you hear that???

I presume the triple question mark is to indicate your incredulity. This information is as much as 5 years old, but the fundamental issue - who earns minimum wage? - has not changed.


Here:

The Employment Policy Foundation has come up with some enlightening statistics regarding minimum wage workers.



THE EMPLOYMENT POLICY FOUNDATION?????


Right wing think tank funded with $340,000 in grants by:

John M. Olin Foundation, Inc. The New York-based John M. Olin Foundation, which grew out of a family manufacturing business (chemical and munitions), funds right-wing think tanks like the American Enterprise Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the Manhattan Institute for Public Policy Research, and the Hoover Institute of War, Revolution and Peace. It also gives large sums of money to promote conservative programs in the country's most prestigious colleges and universities. After Michael Joyce left to take charge of the Bradley Foundation, William Simon continued as president at Olin...
(Editor's note: William Simon passed away in 2000).



...Financed by the Olin chemical and munitions fortune. Assets estimated at about $90 million. Gives about $3 million a year to conservative advocacy groups. Supported right-wing causes for many years, but became more focused in its grantmaking after William Simon took over as president in 1977. Simon was followed by Michael Joyce, who left Olin in 1985 to lead the Bradley Foundation. Simon is now Olin's president again.




Give is another try scumboy.

The try was just fine, thanks.


Are there conclusions right or wrong, shitbag? Can you refute them? No - you can't.

This is a favorite tactic of leftist whiners like you. You like to imagine that if you can find some link to Big Business, a set of conclusions is ipso facto invalidated. Got news for you, crybaby punk: you're wrong. See if you can find some study that shows a different demographic makeup of minimum wage earners. This should be good for a laugh.
