That was Bachman's trick and it's old. She said 666 because the devil is in the details. Gee, have you heard the new one? What do you get when you merge FedEx and UPS ???I knew there was something wrong with this plan, take a look at this picture:

UPSTATE, what you miss in the 9-0-9 plan is the elimination of the minimum wage. Thats his trade off. This elimination places more people into the poverty level and CAINS gift back to these people is a 0 percent income tax.
How nice of him.
Peace.
Actually the elimination of the minimum wage would do the opposite and place more people in employment.
Oh brother... I see somebody is listening to Michele Bachmans nonsense.
Peace.
artificial setting of wages is just wrong, period.UPSTATE, what you miss in the 9-0-9 plan is the elimination of the minimum wage. Thats his trade off. This elimination places more people into the poverty level and CAINS gift back to these people is a 0 percent income tax.

That may be, but do you realize there are waitresses out there making $3 an hour, plus tips? That is just wrong.artificial setting of wages is just wrong, period.
But no waiters?That may be, but do you realize there are waitresses out there making $3 an hour, plus tips? That is just wrong.
Not, usually.But no waiters?
When I was a waitress, I was making 1.18. The beauty of it was, I was making about 15.00 an hour in tips. And at the time you only had to claim minimum wage which I think was like 2.35. People were still using cash, it was a rareity to have someone tip on a credit card. Then I got a waitress job in a better restaurant, and in one night I could haul it in. sometimes over 200 bucks! That was the early 80s, late 70s. I dont know how it works now. I know I always tip in cash.
Having worked in both a "burger joint" and an upscale restaurant (Tangier's ,you know it Tooner?)...I may charge my meal, but we always leave cash for the tip.When I was a waitress, I was making 1.18.

If there is a minimum wage there should also be a maximum wage. It is a symptom of a much greater problem with this society.
Sleeve,
Let me see if I understand your point. I open a business. I invest and risk my money. I pay tax and hire employees that pay tax. In my business I have to work 7 days a week fifteen hours per day .
You believe that besides the thousands of permits and government regulations that I have to deal with not only can the government dictate what I must pay my employees --they can tell me the maximum salary I can pay myself ????
50 years later I have a company worth billions of dollars and thousands of employees. I still pay taxes and my employees pay taxes to the government. My employees are the best paid and have the best benefits in the industry. I have made a huge contribution to society. The government still should have the right on what salary I pay myself ?
Sorry, that is not the United States -----Maybe China or the old Soviet Union.
artificial setting of wages is just wrong, period.
