'Shocking concept’: Pat Sajak's view on minimum wage irritates #RaiseTheWage crowd

When I had minimum wage jobs, my goal was to better myself, not to better the minimum wage.

@patsajak Amen to that. Flipping burgers should NEVER be a career goal after college.

@patsajak When you had minimum wage job the minimum was attempting to keep up with inflation. Also, your an ass.

.@patsajak When you had one you weren’t trying to support a family and there were meaningful well-paying advancement options. @chadhohner

@patsajak Yea, stupid poor people just want to be lazy and work a shitty job for shitty pay for 40 hours a week.

@patsajak You're kind of a dick. Your minimum wage job 30 years ago kept pace with inflation and cost of living. Educate yourself.

@patsajak many people work at capacity only to earn minimum wage. They deserve more than poverty and arrogant condescension.

@patsajak were you trying to support a family at the time? I'd like to buy a vowel, BTW.

.@patsajak When you had minimum wage jobs the pay, adjusted for inflation, was a living wage. Even right wingers bootstrap stories are lies.

Best thing about @patsajak shaming the lower class:He has more compassion for people spinning Bankrupt than being systematically stuck on it
