   50% per capita GDP of the local County, after all taxes.   
      
   Unless local County's per capita GDP is higher than highest State in the   
   Union's   
   per capita GDP, or lower than lowest State in the Union's per capita GDP, using   
   only the States in the Union as of the passage of this bill.  In that case, use   
   the highest or lowest State's per capita GDP for the County Federal minimum   
   wage   
   calculation purposes.   
      
      
   Entirely separately:  Goes through committee separately:  Separate bill:   
      
   Transfer free cash of 25% per capita GDP (50% minimum wage) to all non-earners   
   indefinitely, and transfer free cash of 12.5% per capita GDP (25% minimum   
   wage) to   
   all non-earners under 18.   
      
   If this costs $1-$2 Trillion, so be it.  It will stimulate the economy, allow   
   people to produce, and help the nation.  Will it maybe cause inflation?  Yes,   
   but   
   it will protect everyone at the bottom, so who cares.  Imports and Exports are   
   pretty equal now.  If we became more dependent on imports due to neverending   
   inflation, that could become a worry, but the U.S. is large and pretty   
   self-sufficient.  FYI, there are 70 million people under 18, 50 million people   
   retired, and 200 million adults below retirement age.  Of the 200 million, 120   
   million are full time workers, 40 million part time.  20 million college   
   students,   
   20 million not working.  6 million considered unemployed, less than 2 million   
   unemployment claims.  These numbers are approximate.
