 by P.J. Brady April 07, 2005 MR. FERRY, IT'S MS. NOT MR. BRADY. YOU WANT TO KNOW A FAIR MINIMUM WAGE AND WHY. I BELIEVE A FAIR MINIMUM WAGE SHOULD BE AT LEAST DOUBLED THAN IT IS NOW. THE NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE NOW IS $5.85 AN HOUR, DOUBLED WOULD BE $11.70 AN HOUR. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS TRULY A FAIR WAGE FOR THE TIMES WE LIVE IN. EVERY ASPECT OF LIVING TODAY HAS SURPASSED THE MINIMUM WAGE OF FIFTY YEARS AGO. IT'S TIME TO BRING MINIMUM WAGE INTO THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY. MR. FERRY, I AM ANXIOUSLY AWAITING YOUR OPINION. THIS IS WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY SO GREAT! WE GO FROM A DISCUSSION ON MINIMUM WAGE TO BEING CALLED SOCIALIST! MR. BRANCO YOU SOUND LIKE YOU ARE A "VERY" WELL EDUCATED MAN. I BET YOU WERE ON THE "DEBATE TEAM" IN SCHOOL! BUT, SOMETIMES PEOPLE WITH THIS MUCH KNOWLEDGE LOSE TOUCH WITH REALITY. THE REALIZATION HERE IS THAT "COMMON SENSE" WOULD TELL YOU THAT WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN OUR PAST IS NOT WORKING TODAY. SO ANYONE WITH "COMMON SENSE" IS A SOCIALIST IN YOUR OPINION! WELL SIR YOU ARE WRONG. I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE ONE THAT SHOULD FIND ANOTHER COUNTRY TO INPUT YOUR OUTRAGEOUS KNOWLEDGE TO USE IN. RUSSIA IS NOT TOO FAR AWAY. MATTER OF FACT MR. BRANCO I HAVE READ YOUR OPINIONS OVER AND OVER, TRYING TO COMPREHEND. LET ME ASK YOU WHAT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LIVELIHOOD OF AMERICAN FAMILIES (IN YOUR OPINION) IF IT'S NOT BUSINESS? THIS ISSUE IS NOT CAPITALISM VS SOCIALISM! IT'S SIMPLY BUSINESS OWNERS SHARING THEIR WEALTH WITH THE EMPLOYEES. THAT IS WHAT MADE SAM WALTON! THIS WAS ONE OF HIS TEN BELIEFS IN BUILDING HIS EMPIRE. SHARING THE PROFITS WITH HIS ASSOCIATES, RESPECT FOR THE ASSOCIATE. NOW THAT THIS "BUSINESS" MAN HAS GONE, AND HAS BEEN GONE SINCE 1982, LOOK AT WALMART NOW. THEY WERE REAPING FROM HIS BUSINESS ETHICS. NOW, THEY ARE REAPING FROM GREED AND UN-ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES! WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. IT'S THAT "SIMPLE" MR. BRANCO. IT'S YOUR CHOICE TO BOW-OUT GRACEFULLY FROM THIS DISCUSSION. BUT,PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ OTHER'S OPINIONS - YOU JUST MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING.
