Now Bill thinks that paying a Living Wage would bankrupt all companies in America. Fortunately, all the countries on his list have mandated living wages - Ain't it strange that they have higher standards of livings then we do?

Wrong. I actually said I need to think about it. It sounds good, but how would it work?

Err, you know. You set a minimum standard of living, and then mandate a wage (locked to the cost of living) to implement that. No more Food Stamps, no more housing aid. Just people living off their own labor.

If a job is necesary for a companies survival, then it has to pay enough to live on.

Has merit.

In regards to them having a higher standard of living than we do, I would challenge that.

On what basis? Surely you're not going to challenge it on the facts.

We have many people in this country that think it is societies job to provide them with their needs - and they have no responsibility. I don't know about NY, but here in GA we have a lot of single moms.

Yes, their society may have a higher standard of living, but perhaps they don't have the leeches that we have.

I kinda doubt the number of "leaches" in America. True, according to Romney, half of all Americans are leaches...

We have 47% not paying income tax. True, our economy is in the toilet.

When all is said and done, bourbon may be the only answer. If things really get bad, cheap beer will do.

Good beer, is cheaper than your rotgut Wild Turkey.

Dave

If it wasn't for Wild Turkey I would post only half as much as I do. By the way, that bottle of Makers Mark you talked me into buying a few weeks ago is about gone. It is pretty good, but I prefer the elegance of Wild Turkey.
