There are 2 competing $ amounts here: - - cost of insurance - - cost of employees You say that business save money (which they then pass on to the consumer) because the extra payroll expenses are more than made up by reduced insurance costs. That's just crap. Someone in the other 48 states would have figured that out by now, and every gas station in the country would have converted back to full-service. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Is "common sense" really valid? For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins are mud people. However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE6n1YS9HxQb37XmcRAiNTAJ93WWOJ8y/dmdsSOHI6YPtWNXzD1QCfb6M2 X99y1MvMyw51dvELltAeB/Q= =Wv3f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
