$50 / hour * 8 hour day = $400 / day.
$400 / day * 5 day week = $2000 / week
$2000 / week * 52 week year = $104,0000 / year

That’s probably $75,000 or so take home, presuming they paid all their taxes.

I feel confident saying MANY people who are among the 10-20% unemployment we have now would take that in a heartbeat.

JimRob may have placed this in breaking because McCain was in a debate just now. (Just a guess)

It needs to be stated, though.

$50 an hour, why that’s outrageous.

That’s like...uh, uh, a teacher’s salary.

The Republican Senate just sent me a questionnaire (asking for donations of course)
I told them when they started standing up for us and the constitution I would support them.

We don’t need RINO’s anymore.

if Palin supports MCCain I can not support her. Period.

People we have to draw the line.
