Tue, 10 January 2006 Today Bob and Mark discuss the Living Wage movement. Across the country Hippies have mobolised on a municipal level to pass Living Wage legislation. The Living Wage is basically a mimimum wage that is arbitrarily set to match what a single wage earner would need to earn in order to support a family of three or four at the poverty line. We excerpt a a fairly common argument for a living wage from Jack Clarke's podcast, Blast The Right. This show is a little long, because Mark once again over-researched, but is chock full information and the unique Hippie Killer commentary you've come to love. As you would expect, The Hippie Killers do not support a living wage, or minimum wage for that matter and they tell you why it's a bad idea and present alternative ideas if you absolutely must enlist the State to satisfy your urge to help the poor. Plus Bob goes on an anti-poor rant that you won't want to miss.
Links to info mentioned in the show: We apologize for the crappy audio in this episode. Mark discovered, too late sadly, that he had some bad settings in the editing software that caused it to be rendered pretty awful. Won't happen again. Comments[2] |
