33. At age 23, my parents had a house and two cars. I don’t know anyone that age who owns property now.
“My parents had me at 23. They weren’t rich, but they had a house and two cars. I don’t think a couple this age could buy the house they lived in today. I don’t know anyone that age who owns property.”
34. If you think one job is good enough for a living, you must have lived under a rock.
“That the average income of Americans has increased by 15 percent but the cost of housing has quadrupled, the cost of post-secondary education has quadrupled, cost of healthcare has quadrupled, the CPI of common goods has doubled. Life is expensive. If you think one job is good enough for a living, you must have lived under a rock. Increasing minimum wage was never about helping Timmy get higher wages to buy his new Xbox 420. It was about helping Kate, a single mother of 2 plus kids find manageable living. But it’s also about stabilizing the economy and eliminating inflation. That doesn’t mean increase min wage to 15/hr in one day. It means minimum wage needs to increase each year by a small amount until the economy is fixed.”
