I agree.
"Um we have a family of 6 children, Bob, Billy Jane, Amanda, Larry, Jane Billy, and Phil and me and my husband cannot afford to pay these bills. You're gonna have to make an exception."
Don't generalise.
People and families go through different circumstances. For example: a mother/ father who is now divorced/ widowed and only has skills for a menial job and needs to take care of his/ her children. Or an immigrant family fleeing war and the parents are only able to get menial jobs.
Dude, are you serious? Like, its right there, what you're doing now is called generalizing. You're literally saying that generally, the people wanting more money when working minimum wage are "fatties who want more French fries"
In his defense, I see patients daily that are like this. Some of them LITERALLY have to thumb through a stack of Medicaid cards to find the right one. Some even bring in the wrong child and then go "oh well I guess let's see this'n today, I'll bring the other'n next time!" Sorry, but if condoms are too high of an expense then you should not be breeding. Sure book hoarder is being crude, but he's only upset by the people who abuse the system, not everybody.
I have a strong suspicion that whoever posted this was raised in an upper or middle class family and never had to worry about poverty a day in their life, but that's none of my business.
Anyway, the number of children one chooses to have is irrelevant. It's barely possible for someone working a minimum wage job to support just themselves.
To the first guest, what in the world do you think MINIMUM means? If your life ambition is to raise a family while working the fries at the local McDonald's you're the one with the issue. You aren't meant to be able to raise a family or buy the newest iPhone while living on minimum wage. That's why it's called minimum, the bare minimum you need to survive.
The minimum wage today is barely enough for one person to survive on. The price of food, rent, electricity is extremely high and then the cost of the college they would need for a better job is crazy. It's not enough for anyone to survive on. That's why most people don't leave home until their mid twenties nowadays and why there's a lot of people on welfare. When I was a kid my dad worked minimum wage and we survived off that, my mom couldn't work, yeah there was times we needed help but for the most part we didn't but now with minimum wage and the price of living, you can barely afford your existence.
Plus just because you have the ambition to go somewhere doesn't mean you will. You can go through college and be really good at what you're doing and it won't make a damn difference if no one is hiring. Someone has to work minimum wage jobs, and there frankly aren't enough teenagers who are interested in getting a job to do so. - Also I apologize, I don't check date stamps before I open my mouth.

I think the person who posted this needs to lose their high paying job and try to support themselves on minimum wage.

Usually fatties who want more French fries
The guests can do it and no one bats an eye
But when a user does apparently everyone hates me for it
