Hi Graham! The cost of living in the Congo is not the same as in West Virginia. When the "rich" programmers are displaced they flood the market for lesser work, impacting the poor who have no options other than the bottom rung. You are lucky if you didn't know that. Have you ever read Milton Friedman? I like his idea of an income floor, supported by a negative income tax. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
