That is what they used to make before Obama..... Although to be fair, that's like $22 in U.S.A. Wink

OMG, Worker's Comp is astronomical. I just got audited and had to track down all my subs policies. I just talked to an electrical contractor, who told me that his lead guys get $20 an hour in his regular guys get $15 an hour. Crazy.

If you call 109 million people on food stamps a good economy and the highest rate of nonparticipation in the workforce in history a good economy, then you're smoking crack.

The cities would be burning if we did not have food stamps.

Just to be clear, my abundance did not come from workingmen. My good fortune has all been the result of the Federal Reserve . This is not unlike our wealthy friends from San Francisco . They just will not admit it. When the smoke and mirrors disappear I assume I will be no better off than my employees.

That's right, let's go back to the days when we had no regulation of worker safety--and workers died more frequently. There must be casualties in the war on the poor.

Talking about regulation and worker's compensation.... I recently proposed in an industry magazine that worker's comp. should be a shared responsibility of employer and employee with an onus and responsibility on the employee for their own safety. A two tier system where the employer and the employee both contribute to the insurance of one's safety. In the event that an injury occurs it would be determined who was at fault. The party determined at fault would see penalties or increase in premiums. Both employer and employee would have a safety record. This way the employer could determine if he wanted to hire a employee based on their safety track record and the employee could decide the same if he wanted to work for a safe or unsafe employer.

The magazine proposed this proposition to the worker's compensation board because they thought it was "brilliant, practical, accountable, decreased likelihood of fraud, and was fare", as they put it. Unfortunately, the bozos who operate the worker's compensation board, in their usually quasi retarded and typical way of running a government agency, decided it was better to continue to loose billions and not entertain such nonsense. Oh well, can't fix stupid, and who has the time or money to lobby for change? I sure as hell don't.

Apparently they've waged war on the job creators / employers. Obviously if there are casualties it could never be the employees fault, and a "record" of one's personal responsibility is an infringement on their rights somehow. War on who, what, huh?

NP--A good idea. Now comes the political challenge--convincing people that it is an improvement, instead of calling them names. Convincing enough people so that it happens.

The rabid right's idea of democracy: "that will probably happen at the barrel of a gun."

Tell us again about how your innocent brother was fined big bucks for violating the Clean Water Act. You lawn order guys really wanna be outlaws without consequence. You have forgotten the distinction between liberty and license.
