assistance, less welfare, etc and some very proud workers who are taking care of their families. They would be spending money buying products and this economy would get a big kick start. If the wages was increased there would probably be less people on disability or going on disability, more taxes paid, it goes on and on.

How much money does anyone need? What can you practically buy with 500 million that you cannot with 380 million or whatever?
