The Chinese text from the comments was<br /><br /> 一定要保持最佳狀況呦,加油!!!期待你發表的新文章 <br /><br />which translates from Simplified Chinese to "We must keep a high is best towards that fuel. ! ! Looking forward to your table again in the new article."<br /><br />From Traditional Chinese it goes like: "must remain in the best toward situation, come on! ! ! expect you to issue the new articles." <br /><br />Either way your friend wants you to write more.Xobekimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973381691719755451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8750244306663708036.post-82101712393143079812010-03-20T02:47:37.314-07:002010-03-20T02:47:37.314-07:00The question well may be: "How much too much?...The question well may be: "How much too much?". <br /><br />That's because the obvious flip side to the minimum wage coin is how much should be allowed in payment for a maximum wage. <br /><br />Will we express the maximum wage as an absolute value in dollars or as a percentage of profit? Will we demand less wage in the face of loss? Wall Street bankers took bonuses after posting losses.<br /><br />The incentives to not paying the all but confiscatory tax on obscene wages (including bonuses) are investments in higher wages and better benefits for employees, investments in capital infrastructure and or capital goods and equipment, or lowering the prices paid by consumers for goods and services.<br /><br />The top 1% of American families control between 40% and 50% of the nation's wealth. <br /><br />How do we pay for health care reform? We use the Tax Code to break up that unequal distribution of wealth. <br /><br />Ronald Regan got it wrong. Wealth does not trickle down. Wealth is horded by the wealthy with little or no regard for anyone else. <br /><br />As long as the Tax Code favors the rich over the balance of the population it will be difficult to ease the burden on the common family. <br /><br />Warren Buffett, one of America's richest persons pays less in income tax than does his secretary. He obviously makes a lot more money. The concept of taxing the rich is not to assault the wealthy, it is to level the playing field and make all members of society do their fair share.<br /><br />The downside to a maximum wage is that Molly Files' blog on freebiejeebies would be less vital to so many readers. I bet your favorite daughter would make that sacrifice.Xobekimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973381691719755451noreply@blogger.com
