And you've researched this between bouts of not answering whether or not you pay Thai or UK income tax? Moving on... ok, $4 for that soda, and you wont get out of a fast food restaurant for less than $12 a person. Yeah...No thx. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gher 0 #30 December 31, 2011 let's just tack a Zero on the minimum wage ($9->$90)! And then watch the businesses tack a Zero on their prices in response to increased costs! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I propose we take all the money from rich people and corporations and give $1 million to poor people. Problem solved, the war on poverty would be over and we could then focus on more important things like cutting taxes for the rich. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're not inferring that DD should clean up his own poverty stricken, people living on boats in a sewer stream, backyard before venturing on to chastise others? There is a difference between hating poor people and benignly exploiting them. Keep in mind that monarchy's historically take a very dim view of political/social activ......... never mind.

It's easier for some people to bitch about someone else's back yard while ignoring their own. Keeps the flack off of them while putting the attention on someone else.

dreamdancer 0 #39 January 1, 2012 more evidence... QuoteA £100m bonus has been paid to some of the country's lowest-paid workers over the past decade by employers who have signed up to paying above the statutory minimum wage. Ten years of work by the Living Wage campaign has yielded £96m in topped-up wages for thousands of workers, according to new research. The campaign, spearheaded by Citizen UK, calls for every worker to earn enough to provide their family with the essentials of life, which it says are not met by the national minimum wage. Now, some of the country's most prestigious employers are expected to boost that figure dramatically as firms buy into the idea that paying staff more increases productivity. The study, by Queen Mary College, University of London, reveals that more than £33m extra has been paid to workers on the so-called "living wage" – an hourly rate set independently each year, calculated to allow workers to pay for essentials – since 2010. Firms including Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, L'Oréal and the retailer Lush have committed to paying £8.30 an hour rather than the national minimum wage of £6.08 for staff in London who are over 21. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/the-penny-finally-drops-pay-people-properly-and-you-will-get-better-results-6283794.htmlstay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
