My state is number 43. After reading Nickel and Dimed in America, I realized that it's difficult to live on minimum wage anywhere, but if you have to, my state is the place to do it.

Sadly, I think it's a sign that the US become a nation addicted to greed. You see it in all levels of government and in the corporate world. Not only that, despite all these reports, there is no major entity that is working against this trend. Not Congress, or the Democrats, or the Republicans, or the unions, or anyone else.I'd hate to say it, but I think this is a sign that best days of being an American have past. It's now just a nation with a rich ruling class that governs everything to so that it can drain as much as it can from the worker bees. It reminds me of France before the Revolution.Everyone reading this should beware: This culture of economic Darwinism dictates that you choose which one side of the fence your on. Wolf or sheep? Rich or poor? Master or slave ? Decide for yourself or the culture will decide for you! I see more and more stories like this in recent times.
