while we are talking about economic stimulus i thought i’d bring up the $15 minimum wage.
pros and cons?.
Titch. If the maximum income is 5 million there will be a lot of people who earn 4,999,999.00.
Simon. I don’t believe taxes should be progressive. High earners are managers, business owners and hire a lot of people. Why discourage productivity?
Maybe there should be a maximum income tax.
at our clam meeting this past week there was a rather lengthy announcement asking for the donation of travel trailers.
needed to be at least 22 feet long and not older than a 2005 model year.
lots of other details were in the announcement about what was desired related condition of the trailer, etc.
If you have an rv and selflessly donate it you are now considered “spiritual” and may be rewarded with an interview part on the next special assembly day. Seems like a good deal to me.

I don’t like the idea of a maximum wage. Not for working class anyway. I have seen too many people refusing to work overtime because the tax rates are too high. This ensures they’ll never get ahead. On the other hand I don’t think anyone earning minimum wage should pay a dime in income taxes.
The solution for billionaires is simple. Abolish income tax and tax the living shit out of capital gains and inheritances. The can hoard as much wealth as they want but when the reaper comes to call the government gets most of it.
someone made reference in another post that the awake magazine had ceased publication.
maybe i missed it since i have not been on here as much in the last 6 months.
is this true?
It could be part of their rebranding effort. A new exciting announcement for this falls AGM

Simon has a good point about regional economies that a national minimum wage could cause serious damage to the economy.
If a factory in small town Georgia is paying $12.00 per hour to its skilled workers producing widgets for the export market is forced to up the wages by 20% the market might not bear the price increase. The factory might have to close.
I was actually in a situation like this a few years back where our labour costs outpaced the development of technology to reduce the labour needs. The company folded as our international buyers purchased from other countries who could produce for less cost.

I googled it. Triannual. But you would think no. 1 would be out by now. There goes my college equivalent course. I will have to "read" a public WT from curiosity
It’s definitely cheaper than paying that expensive tuition for a fancy degree plus if you have a fireplace or an outhouse it’s a bonus.

They could just outright sell them and no one would bat an eye.

pros and cons?.
I think if there is a minimum wage it would have to be high enough to encourage participation in the work force. There is no point in paying stimulus or employment insurance that is higher than minimum wage. The economy needs to keep people working to function properly.
