Re: Az senate approves ban on living wage. My letter to th Az Star published today

Whew: Wouldn't want AZ to pay living wage

Re: the March 28 article "AZ Senate gives early approval to 'living wage' ban."

Thank God for the Arizona Senate! I know Arizona has many problems, but making sure no one has to pay a living wage was sure at the top of my list! I think this idea started with Henry Ford when he started paying his workers enough to buy his cars. Well, we all know how fast his business collapsed after that stupid idea.

Imagine the economic devastation if employees could actually afford the goods and services they produced, not to mention the harm to the job creators if the taxpayers no longer had to subsidize their subsistence wages with food stamps and low income housing.

Paying people a living wage would just be the beginning of a slippery slope. The next thing the peasants will be crying for is affordable health care, and from there it is only a matter of time before we end up with a Maoist, Stalinist, communist, fascist, socialist, black foreigner in the White House.

So thanks for saving us Az Senate and, you know...FREEDOM!!!

but, unfortunately those who most need to understand the message, won't. Righties are sarcasm challenged. Heck, a lot of those readers are likely to give you a "Hell Yeah!" believing you made their point.
