Archive for the ‘Minimum Wages’ tag
You must pay minimum wage, unless…
The wonderful Jan Helfeld, who in the past debated harry Ried whether taxes are voluntary or not, insist on an interview with Nancy Peloci to get an answer why her interns don’t deserve the same minimum wages she insist everybody else to pay. Unlike most interviewer Helfeld doesn’t move on when his questions are not being answered and the results are, to say the least, embarrassing.
I always thought that Peloci as an apparatchik, she is a political being that live and thrive on backdoor deals. But even I didn’t expect such low ability to form and protect an idea. And she is, together with the clown from the link above, the majority leaders - what a shame!
Immoral exemptions
The few readers of this blog already know that I hold quite an extreme position on government regulating social affairs. I don’t think that the government should regulate, for example, who should a corporation hire or not, what will be the compensation and many other issues. One exception for this rule is, obviously, the government. Government regulations administrating its own affairs must be enforced.
But surprisingly, instead of being the only one subject to its own regulation - it is the only one exempt from them.
