9/16/2013 Another hair-brained Idea ,,bottom of post
I think that I have this right ,, in the Superman comics ,,Bizzaro world (maybe spelled wrong ) everything is in reverse ,, seems that everyone I run into has pretty much the same problem with employment,, the L/T unemployed as still unemployed and no one seems to be getting anywhere ,, if anything conditions are either worse or marginally worse ,, not better ,,,
Yet the government and the media claim that we are in a recovery albeit not a great one,,, hence the reference to Bizzaro world ,,
I am among the multitudes of unemployed who has dropped out of the system through sheer disgust and frustration,,, no long eligible for U/C.. which in fairness,, I fully understand ,,, it cannot last forever and was never intended to last forever or even extended periods of time ,,, In the past when I have been out of work.. I would collect till re-employed which typically was about 2 to 4 months... I was out there collecting for the max time allowed and still came out short with only a small handful of interviews.. As time progressed the calls returned got less and less with the same or greater effort placed on my part in applications,,
The statistic that was released over the weekend sums it all up and just floored me ,,, no wonder nothing has moved or has gone backwards, as I contend that it has ,,, that 99% of income goes to 1% of the population,,, and the balance is spread out amongst the remaining 99% of the population,,
Like most of my bitching on problems ...I again have a solution to consider ,,, I respect the adage that if your not part of the solution you are part of the problem or something like that ,,anyway,, here goes ,,
Congresspersons and Senators are paid at fixed levels ,,all the same ,,I am excluding the odd graft and corrupt pay offs that of course are illegal :)
Anyway.. My idea is to change the structure of income for Congress to reflect the mean average income based on an agreed upon formula that the workers in each state earn,, Therefore a State with a greater mean level of income based on a formula would get a higher rate of pay,, than someone with a lower mean average of that States workers income,,
Population numbers have nothing to do with this as it is based solely on mean averages within a specified formula,, ie: Louisiana could compete fairly with say California or New York.. The incentives would naturally expand to education, wages paid for skilled labor, etc,, An engineer in Alabama would have to make commensurate wages with an engineer in New York if the Congressman wants to keep his job,,,,,
