I've read this argument before. It's been years since I've read contemporary reports but I don't recall ever seeing the argument that Roberts puts forth. Dissatisfaction with tariffs, yes, but not the constiutional logic in Roberts' essay. I'm no historian, though.
My point in posting the article was to spur some thought over culpability for the violence and economic drag that 13% of our population imposes on the rest of us. People who celebrate Confederate heritage don't seem to take that into account.
My prediction is that within five years you’re going to see fixed real estate commissions
I've never understood the commissions remuneration for real estate agents. They do essentially the same amount of work for a $1M house as for a $500K house.
Even without the overtime some of these salaries seem a little excessive. Over $300K/yr for a police sergeant? I don’t know - maybe I’ve just been out of the labor market too long to know if this is an appropriate salary or not.
I am opposed to minimum wage laws. But as a point of information, it is worth noting that the minimum wage in 1975 was - if I remember correctly- $3.50. That is equivalent to a little over $20 today.
