It's the very bottom. It should just be enough to keep someone out of homelessness. If you want better then you must work for it. Extra qualifications etc. The us do not have a ridiculous welfare policy like we have in Europe where people are rewarded for lack of ambition. It's the home of capitalism. Warren etc are full of it. The billionaires will pay through taxation. Don't make me laugh. That's pie in the sky populism

Both Britain and the US are categorically stating that Iran are behind the oil tanker bombings. Why would the Iranian government bomb oil takers in the Gulf of Persia? Why the phuck would they bother? Nasty stuff.

He has even reduced troop numbers in several areas. If they attempt any kind of action in Iran oil prices will go crazy, and likely trigger a global recession. Iran is a regional powerhouse with a significant defence force. Sad to see the UK towing the US line again, you'd think they have bigger problems to fucus on.
