I wonder what the effect would be if the EITC were modified to particularly reward married breadwinners?

Excellent idea if we could ever get the victimization mongers to quit whining

In this environment, it makes more sense to hoard money.

Or hoarding other items of value and/or usefulness

Architecture is one of those fields, where there is a gross oversupply. It’s not nearly as bad as Astrophysics, with about a dozen new jobs a year, and thousands of graduates...but plenty bad enough. Unless you are superbly talented it is just a bad business decision to spend all that money to train to do something which is already oversupplied. Even if you are superbly talented, you have to fight your way through all those more mundane, and that takes time.

“Renounce Covetousness”

Yup. It causes even more death and mayhem than sexual lust...and that’s a lot.

I was more referring to rich investors, but that does apply.

Why not make the minimum wage $500.00/hour? Then increase everyone above that the same percentage? Sure, a pizza would cost me $2000.00 but I could pay off my mortgage next payday.
