[Vision2020] Jerry Brady on the Auntie E. and Brother C. show

[g. crabtree]

I'm sure this won't be the answer of our next second place governor, not to 
mention  making me no friends on this list, but the fact is no one is 
supposed to live on minimum wage. It's a starting point for youth, folks who 
desire part time employment, and people just starting up the job ladder. As 
skills and experience increase so do the wages. If a person has been working 
for an extended period someplace and is still making $5.15 they are being 
sent a very unsubtle message. Can you guess what it is? I knew you could. If 
they're incapable of rising above minimum wage on their day job, they should 
consider getting a second. It'll be doing the community a favor by keeping 
them off the streets and out of mischief. If this seems a wee bit cauld (a 
tip O' the tam o' shanter to "J. Ford") consider that it's the exact model 
used by many family's right up to and through the late 1950's.
