Poverty Solved!!

Its so simple.

Why a minimum wage?

Why a "living wage"?

Why not a statutory "affluence wage"???

Yes, why don't we just pass a law today saying "no one may be paid less than 0,000 per year"?

Then every working American would be wealthy. . . every sanitation worker, every bus boy, every life guard on the beach, would all be wealthy.

Why don't they do this in the Sudan, for Christ's sake? Why do they put up with abject poverty there instead of just passing an "affluence wage law"?

Hmmmm. . . maybe its not that simple.
