Perhaps it is your head in the sand that needs refreshing. I actually don’t position myself for The Villages other than to point out this is a fixed income territory. You can’t get blood from a turnip, as they say.

What you, and a couple of other posters, insist is that minimum wage earners are an imbecile crowd with no hope for bettering their circumstances. However, legal immigrants move here daily and find America to be an opportunity waiting to be applied.

I know of a fireman who is currently working 3 jobs, his wife works one and she goes to school for nursing. They also have 2 children to raise. Yes, they started minimum wage but they live by the example their parents set and work hard for what they want.

People live up to your expectations and the “give them YOUR money” crowd has labeled and corralled those individuals with hopelessness. I will reiterate this, unparented children grow into clueless adults as to how to be successful and schooling needs quality teachers who are innovative and encouraging.

Wages in all areas of the country mirror cost of living in those communities. Should minimum wage be fair? Of course, but it should not match the wages of skilled labor. It is entry level employment.

When a debate is lost than jabs come next. You have stated your opinion and many debated your opinion. Many of us find this place to be just right and do not feel that we have to defend how we got here or worry too much about how other people will run their lives and find their happiness. No matter what we are told, we are not all born equal, all dumb, all bright, all lazy, all hard working, we are not at all equal because of genetics, because of fate, because of accidents, because of a lot of things, but we are all born valuable. And if we have a conscience, a feeling heart, a sense of responsibility we will each do good to others and for others as directed by our parents and our religion. Or we won't. You cannot legislate or direct morality.

WOW !!!! Someone who finally gets it..
