You are paid what you are worth, (most of the time.)

Let me count the ways:
1. You are NOT entitled to a job. You have to EARN the job. That means a job has to be open, you have to have the skills to perform that job and you have to be the best candidate for that job.
2. You are NOT entitled to that bullshit "living wage" which only exists in unicorn dwelling unemployed diploma mill grads. You live on what you make. If you want more, you have to work harder and smarter for more.
3. You are NOT entitled to make money based on how hard you work. You could slave in the sun, day after day, making mud pies. You wouldn't be worth a cent. PERIOD.
4. Your pay is based on you reaching a VOLUNTARY agreement with an employer. He wants you to work for free, or a dollar a day. You want to work for $100 a minute, with six months vacation and five Rolls Royces for a car allowance. Your pay is where you and the employer meet somewhere in the middle.
5. The best example of this in the real world is a hospital. A heart surgeon makes more money than the janitor. That's because the heart surgeon's skill is more valuable than that of a janitor.
6. The ONLY time you are paid more than you are worth is a situation created by minimum wage. (Or if you are on WELFARE.) If you are a total bozo, the state has mandated that you not be paid what you are worth, if it is a penny an hour, but rather a minimum amount. Of course, those who are REALLY stupid and incompetent are never hired if their skills are worth less than the minimum wage.

Either we are a socialist democracy and people are taken care of or not. Nobody thinks American people are a democracy or a society. They're the economic engine of killers and rapers of our ecosystem. Nobody thinks we can escape the ownership.

@Roundandroundwego The concept of socialist democracy is an oxymoron.Socialism is TOTAL control of all the means of production by government. Right now, America is the LAST free market society on the planet. That's why most of the world wants to move here.

@Reason10 both social protection and democracy are established human rights. And the US is openly seeking world domination. Opposing teams. USA vs human rights. You can take the only side you ever knew. Keep serving it and there's no reason to think about human anything.

@Reason10 the fifteenth amendment to the US constitution established that right to participate in democracy in US law, and the universal right to democracy for all people is recognized by the UN. Non democratic governments aren't legit.
Likewise, social protection from poverty may be missing but that's illegal. Governments all have a responsibility to protect the people in their territory from poverty, too. Human Rights imply government responsibilities. Failure is possible, but it doesn't have to be that way.

You are DEFINITELY from an inferior blue state lack of education.
The 15th Amendment does NOT establish ANY right to participate in Democracy in US law. There is NO LANGUAGE ANYWHERE in either the Constitution or the US Code that establishes ANY rights to vote. In fact the Bill of Rights has NOTHING to do what what you think you're entitled, but rather LIMITATIONS on the power of government.

The 15th Amendment TAKES AWAY THE GOVERNMENT'S POWER to keep you from voting based on race.

Grow a brain, knucklehead.

@Reason10 my bad. Nobody established any rights to vote, there. Or anywhere else. No rights, no reason to avoid killing the enemy whenever we can.

I don't know why they named the first ten Amendments the Bill Of Rights. Over a century, liberals have come to consider that to mean the BILL OF ENTITLEMENTS.

The first Ten Amendments are much more important than rights. They are limitations on the power of Government. You have have all the rights you want, but the wrong government (such as the Democrat Party for the past 150 years) make those rights irrelevant.

Speaking of killing the enemy, you might want to look to the Democrat party, who has involved this country in the BLOODIEST wars of all time, (starting with the Civil War.) Every major war, from the Civil War up to the Vietnam war has been started by Democrats.

And they took hundreds of thousands of times more lives than the War On Terror.

@Reason10 with people like you we can never establish rights.
