   I'm not even suggesting 'union scale' - unions are Corrupt anyway, and   
   Quality of life that may have once been their reason for their existence   
   has long since been made obsolete by OverBreeding!   
      
   Rather, I'm suggesting the possiblity of providing an incentive to always   
   be hired to play there. Otherwise, competition could result.

   Not being into the Root of ALL Evil, i.e. Filthy Lucre Not being an Idol   
   to me, I'd honestly answer that all I'd expect is my Equal portion ;)

   Jesus's parable of the laborers in the vineyard.   
   Matthew 20:1 - 16 A very Powerful Gift Economy message   
   of Great Wisdom.   
      
   The simple synopsis:   
      
   The holder of the vineyard, the employer, offers laborers a   
   mere penny a day to work in his vineyard...and they agree on   
   those terms...even though they start their work early in the   
   morning and work a full day. A twelve hour work day is implied.   
      
   Three hours later, and the working day now three hours shorter,   
   the employer hires more laborers only this time, he offers them   
   "whatsoever is right", and they agree and go off to work, a now   
   shorter nine hour day.   
      
   The employer then does the same thing again, offering "whatsoever   
   is right" six and nine hours later, now even shorter work days   
   six hours and three hours respectively.   
      
   The employer then goes out once more, eleven hours later, the work   
   day now only being one hour long, and offers the laborers that they   
   shall receive "whatsoever is right".   
      
   Naturally, being of the Root of ALL Evil mentality, those who worked   
   longest felt the most cheated, even though they had agreed to the terms of a   
   penny, a unit, like ALL Filthy Lucer units, of Pretense, Make-Believe,   
   Illusion, and even Deception, per day, because they scorned the gift economy   
   mentality, in which the focus is on giving rather than taking.   
      
   But the key to not only understanding but actually Appreciating this   
   parable is in the very first verse where Jesus states that THE KINGDOM   
   OF HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO (the above parable) and God's Kingdom is a gift   
   economy - there is No reference to God *ever* having sold anything to   
   anyone - He is a Giver! And He has only bought Once, NOT with Filthy   
   Lucre, but with BLOOD...our Salvation!!!

   Oversized Mexican band? I didn't know they got paid so well ;)

   Probably not with regards to time though ;)
