They discuss that in the piece and talk about how those people aren't leaving gov't assistance and entering the market. A further point would be, why don't those people move to where the work is? That's an example of how taxpayers are being asked to subsidise another's poor decision. People don't have the *right* to a job that pays $200k/yr just because they decide living in Antarctica would be cool. In the same way neither do the "working poor". Dana has often made the point that people earn their pay even if the gov't is forcing it beyond what the market will bear. I would ask her to consider this case: I'm an executive with a large corporation and decide to hire my young son on as a line manager except I pay him double what other starting line managers make. Would the same argument above apply? My son would be earning his pay even though I've singled him out for more pay simply because, say, he's a newlywed? When this happens with Mr. Bush we call it cronyism and/or nepotism ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:5:175918 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=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
