Not in the business I work for (spray polyurethane foam). I know my boss spends way more on material than he pays his two employees. I don’t know about his taxes.
Ironically where I live its the conservatives that work hard and the liberals that want entitlement and to live off the government. That being said I have travelled and other states and area’s it is the opposite. Some are hard working liberals with mooching conversatives.
My solution, no government money to anyone who isn’t selling or offering a service to the government. No more hand outs of any kind…stop both parties from the money grab.
My employer sends a yearly statement to every single employee that itemizes what they pay to have each of us employed. It is very interesting to see that the company spents more on other things than my wages. The health insurance costs, taxes and other perks equal more than my yearly income.
Since they have to keep take home pay competitive or they won’t be able to retain employees who know what they are doing they have raised prices on their products 5 times in 3 years to keep up with the costs. We just had a huge spike in costs recently they attributed to Obamacare, I have yet to receive an answer as to why that caused anything to go up yet when it hasn’t taken fully effect yet.

Not in the least. The use of God and Creator was a compeomise for the many who were quite religous. People haven’t changed much. The percentages are about the same.

I got charged $2.50 for a glass of water last night. I had ordered water so I wouldn’t have to buy a drink.

I’d say the crackers were made from (hand) stone ground flour and organic sea-salt. Very gourmet.
