[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1401199, member: 50088"] A dollar is valued differently all across the country. There [I]should[/I] be different rates, perhaps even greater differences than there are. If a driver in Kentucky makes the same dollar figure as a driver in Manhattan NY, then each driver actually makes significantly different amounts. This should be very simple to understand. Manhattan living costs DOUBLE the US average. Median home is $500K. So a driver making $33/hr there is just going to get by OK, while the Kentucky driver making that will be living in the upper end of society. If it was actually scaled to real living costs, you'd see more than a $10/hr swing, but you don't [/QUOTE]
