Reply #: I'd run the county based on productivity...a very hard working janitor

[angstlessk]

might make only half as much as a lazy accountant working for the same company. Productivity credits begin when you start school...for going, for grades and for attendence...the longer you go the more credits, the better your grades the more credits, perfect attendence acquires more credits. Then you are graded once your job begins...based on your productivity on the job. the minimum salary depending on your # of years, grades and attendence, of anyone who works would be enough to feed, house, clothe 1 or 2 person(s) if both worked it could support 4 people...beyond that you can excell with past performance and current work..just sayin???

as a manager your workers productivity credits could be added (in small increments) to your own. It would be a heirarchical system...much like we have now..only failure would NOT be subsidized.
