Lane3; Tim just mentioned the living wage. Heaven help us Even the industrialist Henry Ford realized you have to pay people a living wage - if you don't they suck at the tit of the welfare state. In Washington State we have one of if not the highest mandated minimum wage in the nation. Our economy here is absolutly smoking while many areas are in real trouble. Last night listening to Obama's speech he suggested we should give every child $4.000 a year for college. My wife bolted upright when he said - in exchange the student would have to give back in the way of community service. .......That's the kind of thinking we need. Not free help whether in the form of a $600 dollar gift from the government or free medical insurance for the poor or farm subsidies - but a helping hand if needed with expectations that if you take the money you need to repay in some way or another. That lifts us all up - gives anyone who wants an education and education as all of society wins. You can keep people in poverty but who wins if you do? steve
