Saying they need some "personal responsibility" and not acknowledging that the odds are stacked against part-time minimum wage workers is disingenuous. If you look at the who the poor are - it's virtually all part-time minimum wage workers. It's disproportionately women of color with children. A lot of these kids were born when these women were very young, if not girls. Most of these people were born into poverty AND live in areas with terrible public education AND the sixteen states where minimum wage is the lowest federal minimum... Further, the majority of small businesses are not hiring 1 or 2 Ivy League educated MBAs they pay $250k per year. They're disproportionately hiring disenfranchised workers from the above ground. Granted, these small businesses generally aren't the 4-hour work week Tim was talking about.
