Hey Curt, do the math. Say someone is flipping burgers for $8 an hour.
That's 16 grand a year for someone working full-time at Burger King or
Wal-Mart. (Of course, these places NEVER hire more than a few full time
employees -- it's cheaper to hire two part-timers with no bennies.)
So let's say the individual is a single mother with a kid or two at home
to feed and clothe. Her ex is a deadbeat, maybe $10K behind in child
support. Her life is a mess -- not that that's your fault, or mine. But
she's out there. She and many others like her do exist.
So said individual's heating bill goes up $500 over the six-month
heating season. An Oct.12 Marketwatch story puts the average at $350,
but let's say the burger flipper/Wal-mart clerk lives in Milwaukee,
where heating costs tend to be above average. (Up here the poor drive
clapped-out Buicks, BTW).
You don't think that individual is going to feel the pinch?? Or would
you just rather not hear about it.
People debate about the presence of the Ten Commandments in public
buildings. I'd get a kick out of seeing the Sermon on the Mount posted
far and wide in this "Christian" nation. The people would tear it down,
mistaking it for the Communist Manifesto.
That Jesus. He was such a Goddamn liberal.
