Actually, I think the dual complaint--not "an accurate representation of the Hispanic population" and not "doing more to promote"--explains everything. If Disney was going all out promoting this as the Latina princess then I could possibly understand the criticism. But if Disney isn't promoting it this way (or at least...more

I had no pretensions that a piece of paper would guarantee a high salary. But I do expect to get paid more than minimum wage workers since I have more training and education. When that pay difference begins to get mitigated, it deters others from pursuing education and training. You flatten it too much and there is no ...more

Iron Mike,   My point was that apparently some are living it up. Further, the issue isn't just whether they are living it up but whether minimum wage workers have nearly as much expendable income as a middle class income due to all the free things they get. Not a single person has denied that people get subsidized h...more

Get some basic reading skills. I said a nurse at her work likes the high end stuff; on the contrary, I specifically said my wife has the $15 purses. Moreover, I never said the purse was $6000. Finally, I also pointed out cars, which they don't make knock-offs of. Not even bothering to read just shows that all you want ...more

Yes, but one of the nurses there has expensive taste and so knows a knock-off when she sees one. She says they are real. That is the only reason my wife even knows how much the purses are--my wife has $15 purses. (I myself asked the same question because I am always skeptical.) Also, my wife sees their cars too since s...more

Oh and for any of you who think, "Oh well, tough luck for him," your company may be next. I was so upset that I looked online to see if any other companies do this. Apparently, it used to be rare but companies or now looking into this possibility more and more. I will give you one guess about the reason why companies a...more

That somebody would give a thumbs down to my comment just shows how unreasonable some people are in discussing these matters. If you can't see something wrong with taking the money of those who only make $30,000 to subsidize the insurance of others, then you just aren't being reasonable. At least if it was from those m...more

Except my wife works at a hospital and sees it from time to time--more than once or twice! Emprical data beats out any sort of reasoning of what you tell me should or shouldn't be the case.   Also, I didn't say $6000 purse; I was only told that the purses cost several thousand.   If you get cheap, subsidized housi...more

How could anybody give this a thumbs down? Does somebody actually think it is right for somebody to be getting free healthcare when they can afford a purse worth several thousand dollars? This isn't just one person either; they have seen it multiple times.
