[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need to lower the minimum wage so that low level workers like nannys, plumbers, repair men , lawn etc. cost less for the middle class. The tradesmen unions have been raping this area for years.[/quote] I am  stunned no one jumped on this. Seriously? Why should nannies cost less for the middle class? Should BMW's and Bentley's cost less for the middle class too? If you can't afford it, don't buy it. You can't walk into a luxury car dealership and expect to pay economy car prices. Yes, lowering minimum wage would significantly improve the standard of living all around. More people on welfare and food stamps is just what we need. If people can make more money living on unemployment, welfare, working under the table etc. they're going to. Why go to work and not get by when you can get more for staying home? We need to make it beneficial to go to work...help out the people who are working full time but barely making it because they earn $100 over the threshold. Those are the ones who deserve help. The people working a 40-60 hr week at min. wage or slightly above it are the ones who deserve the breaks...not the wealthy, not the slovenly. Give people an incentive to work.[/quote]I was going to jump until I realized this poster must be joking. No one could possibly make such an asinine comment on a thread where folks are moaning about making ends meet on 100k a year and hope to be taken seriously. I really think PP was being sarcastic.[/quote]
