re: #239 reine.de.tout

sadly, the loony friend I had lunch with the other day, who saddened me with her complete idiocy on these issues, will have absolutely no problem at all with the gov’t setting salaries, overseeing “bonuses” - requiring performance indicators, etc.

Hey, riene.

Funny you bring this up. I just left the kitchen where we were discussing this topic. One of my best cooks voted for “O” and think salaries should be regulated. So I asked him the following questions.

Q—What would happen if I capped your salary or said you make to much and cut your salary?
A—I would probably quit he said.
Q—What do you think would happen if the government told me I have to pay you twice what you make now?
A—You would probably go out of business.

I told him either way your out of a job and I guess I should pay you the same as the new guy starting…fairs, fair.

The lights went on briefly. He’s a typical liberal…talks out of both sides of his ass.
