Most of my ‘business contacts’ work behind a counter doing McJobs. As a ‘compassionate conservative’ I’m smart enough to know we need their support and their votes. Too many of you freepers don’t. These folks are led to believe we’re responsible for the income inequality out there and we’re stupid enough to let it it stick. If they work 40 hours/wk what can we do for them? The Bernies of the world have the issue and we’re asleep at the switch-brain dead.
My idea-Find a way to record their 40 hours a week working. 2000 hours/year. It may have to go the way of paper(check stubs) like paper ballots. Those that qualify(2000 hrs.) get get a working bonus out of the budget surplus that comes with a big cut in government as well as the ‘proper’ fair tax. At the end of EVERY year congress debates how the surplus gets divided-for every hour worked amongst the 2000/hr. workers or EVERYONE. Let the debate liven up. Skin in the game for the 40 hour/wk workers. That way those that cut more government get more money. Should payback be in cash or an IRA? You decide.
If the payback is in cash they’ll prefer it. Just look at how many overlapping programs can be eliminated. Let states deal with the details.
