Smarter children, less crime, higher property taxes. Paying living wages after your summer house is paid for.... Eat The Rich, and Unpatriotic. have to say it again. EAT THE RICH. :siren2: [/quote] the rich need to clam down and learn to share, how did they get rich in the first place... let me guess.. lol it's all about fairness, equallity, love, joy, truth, compassion and righteousness. :) [/quote] Most people, myself included, start at the bottom when they are young and they work themselves up. They have to do without what they were used to having when they lived with mommy and daddy and start making their own way. They moved out of a nice house, into a cheap apartment. They didn't get a brand new car, they bought what they could afford. I didn't have cable for the first 3 years I lived on my own, yes, that is a shocker, but it can be done. I drove an inexpensive car, I lived in a cheap apartment, I worked two jobs at times and GASP..they were both jobs that I HATED. It was about 6 months on my own before I could even have a phone in my apartment. I had one old couch, my bedroom stuff, I had a few pieces of kitchen things here and there that my mom gave me. I had THREE towels, had to wash them all the time. I worked, moved myself up, saved my money, didn't have unnecessary things until I could AFFORD it. That is what normal people do, they don't generally go from the lifestyle of mommy and daddy into that same lifestyle when they leave mommy and daddy. Mommy and daddy worked a lot of years to get to that lifestyle and they started at the bottom also when they were young. No one shared their wealth with me, I worked to take care of myself. Yes, I know, it's a strange concept, starting at the bottom and working to support yourself and not getting something from others. Good Lord, we are doomed..share the wealth my ass. Work for your wealth like a normal person. [/quote] What decade was this, the 80's. Today's $7.25/hr min wage won't pay for a cheap apartment. Most apartments here require a credit check which if you are starting out, you have no credit. The cheapest apartments around here go for $600 to $800 a month. Then add your heat, utilities and food, gas. You just can't do it now days on your own. Who wants to waste their 20's working all the time just to be on your own? When your older and look back you think, "Well, when I was in my 20's I..... well I.... I just worked". :tounge: [/quote] No different in the late 80's, early 90's. Oh, I forgot one important thing. I always had a roommate until I was about 28. You think they didn't have credit checks, heat, utilities, food, gas, etc then? At one time 4 of us rented an older big house and we split everything. That's how you do it, it's no different for you now than it was for any of us in the 80's and 90's. [/quote] You said you lived on your own the first 3 years. Gotcha [/quote]

Is he trying to run us out of business!!! If you raise one side the other would even out with it!!! The money comes from the people that buy the product and the price just rose by $1 cause of the minimum wage raise!! He does not get it!!
