    Pay them more? So they can lose their benefits? Are you crazy?

    I’m kidding, of course. I know that what you mean is, “pay them so that they can afford to live without requiring benefits.”

    You get into some of the poorer places in the country though, that truly would be nearly impossible for most businesses. There are some places in West Virginia that would immediately have no access to gasoline, groceries, etc.

    It is crazy to think that Bobby McBusinessman gets to ride around in a giant RV all summer because the government pays his employees. They don’t see it that way though, as they collect their HUD payments and accept food stamps while all of their employees receive food stamps and medical benefits.

    All while the rest of the community lives on nothing and experiences very little joy in this life.

    What do I know though? I’m just a pissed off hillbilly who helped make someone who isn’t me very rich.
