Would Abe Lincoln have run with that one? I doubt it.
Do you now? I think it depends on where you live.
A boyhood friend of mine got moved to the States by his employer. Says his take-home pay is indeed more than before. But by the time he finishes paying for all the private services (garbage collection and so on) that he used to get publicly, though, he's no further ahead. And he told me they recently found that the garbage guy was burying the stuff in a place where it was polluting the ground water. Probably pays his employees minimum wage too.
