Don, >>It doesn't matter what I think, the problem is with the people that are thrown out of work, or who are never allowed to work in the first place. Only governments, or non-profits, can provide make-work jobs that pay more than the work performed is worth. It was my observation that in Australia they have a "minimum wage" policy that is a living wage. I am not talking about make work jobs. For example the people on the low end of the wage scale can afford to pay the rent, buy groceries and get to work. I know this may not provide the best competitive labor economics for some of the industries that hire these people like the restaurant and hotel industries, but it is one way to run the railroad. As far as firearms are concerned, you and I will disagree on this subject. I do not believe firearms should be in the hands of people that plan on using them to kill people. Joan
