Reply to Why I Hate: The Minimum Wage in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I think, especially after reading the article and some of the comments, that the minimuim wage is for 2 things: 1 To make sure employers do not abuse there workers and that the workers get a fair share rate for their work. Just leaving it up to the market works for profesional jobs, but not the lower labor market. You will end up finding that a janitor will make 3.00 an hour even though the work load is easily considered higher than that. T

Its been a long weekend for me. All these hardships I've been going through for the past 4 or so years made something that was not very much of a big deal make me feel pretty small.

Reply to Why I support inheritence taxation in Politics JoeUser Forums

I see your point here, but at the same time doesn't that mean that those families of hard working people lose the land because the next generation can't afford to pay the new income tax? Do they still get to own the land and at least sell it to pay for the new income they inheritted from someone in their family? Do they have to pay the new income before they get the land? I don't know... this seems to hurt not only who earned the land

I take packages (on avarage of 35 - 45 pounds) out of a truck and on to what is called an extendo that brings these packages into the facility and into trucks going to your home.

End the end, I guess 20 dollars might be too low, but that's pretty much my budget. I coul

First of all, if the guy who lost the fingertip and his manager had have shown as much interest in where the severed flesh was after the accident (as is what they should have done), none of this ever would have happened.
