Re: Now wait a minute...I thought you advocate a "living wage"?

Are you a socialist? We should pay fireman , cops etc the least amount we can pay and still fill the positions with qualified people .This is called a free market. Since any retard with a 90 IQ is smart enough to be a postman or cop,it should not be difficult to fill these jobs even if their pay was reduced.Engineers, scientists and other highly intelligent , creative people working in the private sector are paying too much in taxes to cover the salaties of govt workers
