Higher pay also creates more inclusive societies -- societies, btw, that pay for the RtW and EoD policies in less progressive states.I'm honestly a moderate on this issue. My main point was more that I find this new trend of "quitting work to make a contemptuous social statement" repugnant and, we are far, far less tolerate down of such behavior down in Dixie.
I might be a bit moderate on the issue, since I might favor welfare to work requirements, if designed right and not as Gingrigh did it.
But I am applauding the trend of people quitting work to make a statement, but it's not contemptuous and not especially social; just that people want to find work doing what they want to do or at least get better pay, which sure is not the case now under minimum wages of $7.25 an hour in red states.
You like the South and southerners, so here's one fer ya.
