I agree the big catch is the bucks we pay. We like to pay our employees good and they should be, have insurance, retirment plan, etc. On top of all that most places dont want to pay there employees a fair wage. No doubt it takes two working just to make ends meet. You see some real big companys and we all no who they are, they pay there employees hardly nothing, and try to keep them part time without no benifits. It makes the average person buy what they can get the best deal on, and in turn makes it worse. I sure dont have the answer, but feel sorry for our kids even with a good education. If you have two kid's, two cars because you both need to work, and pay for child care, and try buying your own house etc. you better be making alot of money or you will never make it. Once when I was a kid we done alot of traveling. I remember one time we had a new car, and a new trailer. We went to Montana for two weeks seen all the sights, bought lots of things to bring back etc. I can't even guess at what that would cost now. Just the car, and trailer without the trip. To me the min wage is some kind of joke, but thank god its there or I am sure wages would be lower yet. Very hard situation to fix, I have a few ideas but lots of peopld would probably think I am nuts.
