      XPost: fl.politics, houston.politics, tx.politics       XPost: alt.abortion, talk.abortion       From: Intelligent@savetheworldmsn.com              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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
