> @Maggiemac311 Are those people who are struggling to meet their extravagant lifestyle the majority of those complaining about their low wages, or those who work over 40 hours every week and cannot afford basic necessities (food, rent, etc.)
@Variss - I agree it depends on where you live, Baltimore City has NO jobs, since the democrats drove all the corporations out with crazy taxes. I also think SOME people are creatures of habit and would rather complain then take physical action to improve their lot (different job, more training etc). Case in point, years ago, company where I was working was moving to a new facility that provided housekeeping services. I had two housekeepers that worked for me. I met with both of them, since their jobs were going to be eliminated and told them I would get them into what department they would like to move into and provide in house training if needed. One of the women wanted to go into telecommunications, so I got her trained and she was immediately transferred into that department and eventually was promoted higher. The second woman refused to give me any input and continued to complain about the fact she was losing her job. Nine months down the road, we laid her off when we moved. I'm sure she told everyone, we didn't care about her. Bytheway, both of these women were black. You have to be realistic. I always wanted to work in the theatre. But I also realized the wages are crap, work is unsteady etc. I decided to take a regular job and worked theatre part time. Would I preferred to work theatre full time - absolutely - but I looked at financial facts.
