2.) Human nature has, to the best of my knowledge, not been disproven. Case-in-point: unions. Unions reward seniority, not productivity, and many union members don't want to do more than what's in their job description because they can make a fine living with the imposed wages they're getting. Need further proof? Read about the Northwest Airlines union on strike. Here are bunch of people claiming they're owed $70,000 per year doing work that the market is willing to pay less for. Guess who won? I find it astonishing that you would think that paying someone a "living wage" would not discourage them from keeping up with their skills. Or that you'd further believe it was disproven. I'm trying very hard not to laugh and be respectful, but you're making it very difficult; especially with the hundreds of companies proving it every day by outsourcing their manual labor. AND the MILLIONS of immigrants working BELOW minimum wage and then working their way up into hotel and convenience chains while their American counterparts wallow at minimum wage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:175114 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
