What do you think an unskilled roofer in Florida in August should earn? "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" Did I get that right?

I think guys that peddle software to Doctors clinics deserve 1/2 minimum wage. The difference is that the work we do is highly technical and requires an extensive skill set. For me to hire a person to work with customers he has a background with networking, extensive knowledge of SQL and at least some programming background, extensive knowledge of ANSI4010X12 transaction sets, and at least a college degree in business or information systems. Professional people. People who work in Walmart stores don't have nor do they need to have these skills. That's the problem with you dolts. You think everyone should be paid the same regardless of the extent of their skills.

Unions served a purpose at one time. Today, at the top they are a quest for power and at the bottom they are a way to redistribute wealth to people who haven't earned it. Elitist. I think guys that peddle software to Doctors clinics deserve 1/2 minimum wage. He's really low life. I bet a big nite at the Ray household is sitting around the table laughing at all the crummy cars their poor help drive. What do you think an unskilled roofer in Florida in August should earn? If he works for Ray, he should pay him for the privilege.
