Well Barry, your song inspired thought, good job.

The sentiment is nice, and maybe it could inspire some companies to do better.

But the reality is, alot of people can only make it by sharing apartments, and working two jobs. this is America we deserve better than that, but that's how it is. The company has everyone by the sack, if you dont want the job somebody will.

I mean when wallmart has a spot on an application that asks "Why would you like to work for Wallmart" you know things are bad.

"errr duh i always dreamed of working for walmart, they are the finest retail outlet in the country, and I could be proud working for them"

If you dont want the job, someone will want it.

Nowaways im seeing alot of young kids trying to make careers out or wallmart and supermarkets. They'd rather spend 20 years working their way up the ranks, than go to college, get in debt and not make a cent the whole time they are in school.

But forcing companies to pay more can only be bad. They might be able to force a company to pay more er hour, but they cant make a company hire, or stop them from layin off, so they have fewer employees who break their arse for .50 more cents an hour

The only solution for people is to find a new career path. Not easy though
