How can a job make someone poor??? Even if it pays $7.50 an hour, it still gives you more money than you would otherwise have if you were unemployed.

It doesn't solve anything, you're making no sense. If more low-level jobs are taken up by the working poor in their old age, there will be fewer low-level jobs for younger people. They will either be squeezed out of a job altogether, or they'll have to seek a higher-level white collar job. Unless they're college graduates, which most of the working poor are NOT, they will have a significantly harder time finding a job that matches their skill level.

Plus, employers will realize that they can hire a cashier who's 24 and get rid of the geezer who's 76. The 76 year old will then be out on the street seeking a job, and tell me who will prefer him over a younger person?

It will cause absurd problems in the job market. I can't figure out what the hell you're talking about.
