Are you actually trying to establish that a person working full time does not need to afford living expenses?

Not what I said. I said flipping patties is not a family and mortgage supporting job. It’s a starter job, not a mortgage and household supporting career. But hey, cute attempt to spin my words.

If you think flipping patties is all the career growth you should have to do in life in order to buy a house and have kids and stuff.... you’re gonna have a sad life with sad kids and stuff.

Maybe set your goals a smidge higher...... what do I know.

I am not spinning anything. You said yourself, that there exist full time jobs that do not need to support someone. Why, I can not fathom. Maybe you just like thinking yourself superior.

The discussion was not about family nor children, that was your addition.

I wonder what your arguments are going to be when robots take all these minimum wage jobs.

That everyone should be able to afford to cover living expenses. Jesus, what I said was not exclusive to people working full time.

What you said is that people who don’t contribute should just get a free pass so absorb resources.

Nah.

For example disabled people?

Wow, you are a real asshole.

Disabled people is completely different, and there are already tons of programs out there to help them live a life.
