I just read somewher that part of FDR's "New Deal" was a "salary cap" of sorts, where he wanted to make it so no one person could make more than $25,000 per year! Sounds ridiculous, but, adjusted for inflation that would be about $260,000 per year today. Not an amount that any of us are likely to hit anyway, but still smells like Communism to me.  |

But did you notice who was bringing in the most?
UNITED STATES CONGRESSMAN $8,663.00
When I left Cal. and moved here to Missouri in 1996.
I needed a job, FAST.
I got a job at a cheese factory driving atruck. Back and forth from the distribution area to the plant.
12 hour shift's. Then I would work overtime like a mo'fo'.
I averaged about 100 hours a week for about 3 years.
Talk about work, sleep-sleep,work...
Then I was told by the managment.
They got a memo saying.
"No hourly employ should be making $60,000 a year."
But I was working? Not just sucking the time clock?
It was a temperary situation,anyway till I figured out the area and finished my Realestate Law class's.

I hear ya, I worked for Thrift Drug from 1994 until 1997 when Eckerd took over. I was a driver/laborer in their construction department. By the time Eckerd took over I was still only making $10 an hour, Eckerd came in, changed my job title, gave me a $.65 an hour raise and promised me another that October, then yet another raise at the begining of their fiscal year in Feb, they said I'd be up around $16-$17 an hour in no time. Late 1998/early 1999 I STILL never got those raises, though constantly being promised that I would get them (they always had an excuse) Finally I went to the big cheese of my department and guess what? They have a $10.75 an hour cap for hourly employees! So I got a funkin' 10 cent raise after almost 2 years! That spring I got my self into the Carpenters' Union and never regretted it! Best decision of my life!  |
