From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:The Lake Wobegone Salary Plan
The headline reads All should be paid at least the average U.S. salary.
If we are looking for a place to start, let's start with what the average hourly pay is in America and see to it that this is the minimum wage for all full-time employees.
Dang, it's so simple! Why didn't I think of that? While we're at it, let's bring all the schools "up" to average.
There's more though:
And before you say it can't be done, look at what welfare, and other public assistance including health care and having the thousands of not-for-profits cost us each year.
Of course. We can just take what we spend on welfare and charities and "spend" it on making everybody pay the average wage.
I was trying to make this post as many words as the average of this and the last three posts. Oops, need to add a few words. Nope, one more. just..
Wait a minute, where did that average go? It was here a minute ago.
