MLK, IMO, was murdered for an Agenda he did not support. JFK and RFK were murdered too. All three were moving to equal under the law for all. These Honorable men stood in the way of division to weaken America. (Malcome X, if you listen to his videos, was a threat to this agenda too).
Once, they were out of the way welfare showed up. (Man shall work for his bread), Welfare destroys families and the world system can get at the children in many ways. NAFTA helps to increase the destruction by getting rid of the middle class. Limited jobs, limited resources equals chaos.
I am writing about just two topics. The issue is much deeper and I call it a full court press to divide this nation. Most will lash out emotionally and physically. It is human nature. The evil agenda has brought this country to what we are seeing now. Those that move this agenda forward by supporting extreme groups with money are laughing at humans fighting each other.

I would suggest reading the original article. (a link below) One glaring omission in the article - how many hours a week are being worked at each job. The information given:
Works 6 days a week
Has 2 jobs
One job pays $9.50 an hour ($76 implies an 8 hour day (Gross))
One job pays $11.00 (stated hours - 8.5 hours daily)
Taking this at face value this person is earning $1,115 a week gross pay; which we know is probably not true.
Let's look at this from another angle - $10.25 an hour, 40 hours a week = $410 gross
Combined Kansas and Federal tax rate is close to 20%.
So monthly NET (take home)(after taxes) is $1,421
Yes that is tight for a single mother of 2 and it can be done.
So what is left out of the story presented?
I am not sorry and have little sympathy for this individual. I have a sister and nieces and nephews that are in the exact same position. And I know that there has to be more that is DELIBRATELY left not stated. And personally when I lost my the job previous to the last one, my wage dropped down to $10 an hour @ 40 hours a week, and my total taxed income that year (2 years ago) was $21,033, and 50% of that was taken by my mortgage.
I appreciate the link to Dr. Kings thoughts, but think about what I have pointed out.

SSG Robert Webster
SSG Trust Palmer - OK, what about the difference of pay in Maryland as opposed to Kansas for your profession as an LPN?
Occupation code 29-2061 (Information from the DOL/BLS)
KS Median hourly wage = $19.57 KS Annual mean wage = $40,880
MD Median hourly wage = $24.83 MD Annual mean wage = $51,980
Or we could do a comparison between BAH for E-1's at the w/o Dependents rate:
Zip Code 67212 $852.00 Wichita/McConnell AFB Housing Area
Zip Code 21060 $1,623.00 Annapolis, MD Housing Area
That is $771.00 a month difference.
The KS amount will provide equal living accommodations in Kansas to what the MD amount provides for in Maryland.
So taking that a step farther using housing cost as the primary factor with a median housing cost of $122,900 to Maryland's of $299,900, which is approximately a 41% difference, what do you think is going to happen?

Trust- OK then let us discuss this with a different metric then (Different than the one presented by implication and linkage in the Dr. King reference article), what about the difference of pay in Maryland as opposed to Kansas for your profession as an LPN?
