[QUOTE="rc508pir, post: 3003709, member: 40091"] Agree, but there's no will to excel either. One of my neighbors is a Bernie supporter, in her 50s', and has been a CNA for over 25 years. Kids have been out of the house for over 20 years She was on about the minimum wage thing, and all about the she needs more money. $15 an hour is what LPNs here in Lawton make. I asked if she thought that she should make as much as a LPN that probably busted her *** to get through school. She said hell yeah. I said well then where's the incentive to go to school and better your education to get a better job? Why should a person pay to go to school, do a crap load of homework and get certified as a LPN when she can just get a job as a CNA and make as much money. These people just don't realize, if minimum wages go up, then everyone else's wages have to go up as well. ompanies then have to pay their employees more which results in product prices going up. Then their new $15 minimum wage ends up being nothing. To give you an idea of how uneducated this lady is, we had another argument about prisons. She swears up and down that taxes don't go to feeding prisoners [/QUOTE]
