Recent newspaper article.. In New Jersey, a family of 4 needs at least $53,000 per annum to live like humans...HOWEVER, I once met a guy from the neighborhood, who lamented having to take a pay cut from $750K per annum, to only $650K..He complained that he had no idea HOW he could live on that..(let them eat cake).. I also knew a legal secretary, who's employer (big law firm) asked her to take a pay cut from $50K, to $30K, as the partners needed a bonus, and money was tight..That's how far gone some folks can get...Especially LAWYERS (and polititions)....

Lighten up Francis. I was being facetious to make the point that why don't we all make as much money as we want? Why set the minimum wage at $8 or $15 or $80 or $1 mil an hour?

Then we could all get everything we want and there would be no suffering anywhere right? If you have even the most rudimentary grasp of economics I think you can figure out what I'm getting at. I could not care less about whether I recieve a helpful vote.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
