"Ignorance"???? "Rudeness"??????
--------I saw none of that in any of the above posts------I am confused, and bemused, but certainly not offended. 
People can, and do, live on minimum wage, albiet not very well by todays standards. I know because I did it for several years until I got a better
job, etc., etc., etc.. after seeing the "light", and going back and getting an education while supporting my wife and two kids------and no, my wife
did not work-----she was busy taking care of our kids, while I worked for "minimum wage" as a clerk at a liquor store at night, and as a day laborer
on weekends------------it can be done, and we were not hungry, but it was not much fun!

I can see the parallels with the Mexican elections and the U.S. elections, but when the conversation took a turn it really belonged in "Off Topic".
Having said that, these right wing attacks using false or distorted labels are inappropriate extrapolations from ...(well, I caught myself almost
using labels here).

Barry, an apology for editing my apology is now in order. I don't like to edit the meaning of my posts so as not to pull the rug out from under
others. But as written it was a rude apology, and why would any sane person make a rude apology?
I also lived on minimum wage years ago, but it doesn't buy what it used to. Minimum wage in high cost of living areas doesn't cover basic expenses
any more.
Now I think I'll take Al G's advice and stop digging.

Question!
How would someone define ruling from the streets in one word. Even in Mexico it would begin with the letter 'R'.

Irresponsible is what a juvenile is normally thought to be. I'll still stick with the 'R' word.

Bernie.. I know what you are romancing to. I did not mean to reduce the fire of "The Revolution"
