I know this is a hot button topic...but statements like this piss me off:
Oh frelling boohoo. Actually the answer is YES YOU CAN. I've done for the last 8 years, except for a brief 6 months where I made $17 an hour at my day job and brought home LESS money because of the shiny new tax bracket I was in.
I make $14 an hour, support my family, and pay all my bills and a mortgage. I don't have health insurance and I have hefty medical bills to pay. I could make more on my freelancing...but there never seems enough of those jobs around for me to pay my bills.
There's no bail out for me.

Don't worry it's text not sound clip.
Frank Warren, 49, who works at a GM transmission plant, said the autoworkers have given up enough. "We've given up positions that it's taken 30 years to get," he said. "We've got workers coming into our doors now making $14 an hour without health care. Can you support your family on $14 an hour and pay a mortgage? I don't think so."
