Imagine that.. when people aren't handed something they didn't earn, they WORK HARDER to make more, do a better job, learn a better work ethic.



Good Lord you are a lefty crackpot.
One more time, a consumer based economy only works if people can afford to spend money. When I was hired by gm in 1985 to work on the line, I started at $11.35 an hr. now we see factory work is offering $9.50 an hr. My wife 15 yrs ago went for a reception job They offered $11 an hour for a high school grad, I saw one craigslist list recently ,they wanted a 4 hr degree and paralegal experience and it started at $10 an hr. This isnt good, wages should be going up, not down. And considering we all sell products this is should be very disturbing.
