I hold the parents responsible. It's the parents that committed the child abuse, by having kids they can't afford.
I'm not saying it is. I don't know what raising it so high will accomplish, but raise the local cost of living, and make other wage earners demand more as well.

But you are punishing the children by proxy.
On $11-12/hr it is possible to raise a child. Ideally both parents are working full-time jobs at least 40 hrs/week. If they're desperate, they still need to share financial responsibilities of parenting.
The minimum wage being where it's at right now though just doesn't allow for it. That's why I'm for increasing it. Unless you have no desire to go out and find a job, worrying about being able to financial support your kid shouldn't be a worry. It shouldn't be counted as a priveledge to be able to raise a kid, but something you can do with a regular job and not having to defer to the govt. (which in the end is OUR money) because multi-billion dollar corporations don't pay enough. In this situation, it's more us bailing out corporations & companies than govt. bailing out those who can't afford .
Exceptions to your forced sterilization policy? Oh, okay, that's a relief.
You're right, it's always obvious that a relationship will become abusive, so they should know what they're getting into.
Frankly, the reasons for the divorce are not even important. A person should be able to leave a dead marriage without their children suffering from poverty.
I was being facetious. I know it's not that simple always, still it's probably pretty common--common enough so as not to automatically elicit a sympathy response for the woman since the evidence pointing to a bad partner is usually present, but ignored (fwiw, my mother, who I love dearly, was one of these women). You play with fire...still of course I feel bad for kid. Which is why I don't think they should have to live in poverty. And I never did say that. If parents work jobs, they should be able to provide a decent, modestly comfortable living for themselves and a kid. The $15/hr wage alternative that's being offered up here though goes beyond that.

So maybe the kid grows up without the newest gadgets, clothes and shoes, and doesn't get a cell phone by the time he's nine, or new car at 16...That builds character--it built character in me. Growing up with little HELPED me, lit a fire under my ass. I grew up in one of the poorest counties, in one of the poorest neighborhoods in the U.S. There's silver lining to not growing up with much.
its not how much you make its how much you spend
It's not forced.
It's the payment one gives to accept subsidies. It's an insurance that their subsidy rate will not need be increased in the future.
We already have too many kids who have little chance of not repeating their parents mistakes. Why not try to reduce the burden on society?
Yeah, its beyond that.
Why do you continue to conflate subsidies with min wage?
Your personal experience is not necessarily the way the world works although you may think it is.
My work is a huge part of my life and I love it. I think about it constantly and it's wonderful.
Gotta pay bills. Prioritize time after the fact.
me too. I remember getting around 1.75 an hour.
y'all's history. Everybody's got one
The point is that Federal minimum wage should be $15 now, indexed in inflation and locale, and stepped up to $25/hour (in 2015 base) by 2025.
Still wouldn't help you since you're too busy in your mom's basement scrolling articles.
wonderful comeback, always devastating
I'm not. This is a tangent. However, minimum wage should never be considered a living wage. Anyone wanting minimum wage as a living wage has surrendered. Saying they are incapable of doing better. it will hamper motivation.
you rigthwingnuts are proving yourselves repeatedly to be black-hearted bas s, ing the poor every which way.
Well, if you want to be coddled and suck your thumb all your life, that's on you.
the 99% are coddling the 1%/BigCorp/VRWC by being ripped off by them for $Ts for decades.
What year was that?
boutons on that $25/hour minimum wage again?
why not? you've been dumbed down to eat as inevitable, unchallengeableboutons on that $25/hour minimum wage again?

Can you write in complete sentences instead of word salad?
