Our wages are based on our knowledge and qualifications. Most of the time, we are dealing with dependent people with no ambition or enthusiasm and the answer to the problem is very simple. It's called education.He then goes on to recommend the many community colleges in our area.
There is so much wrong with this letter that I'm not exactly sure where to start... We could, for a moment, imagine that everyone had the mental and financial resources, and desire, to go to college (which they don't). We could then imagine a country where every citizen is overqualified to serve J.D. his big mac or mow his lawn or pick up his trash or press his suits or put his luggage onto an airplane or manufacture his car or...
The point being that the country would be worse for the ware if we were are equally educated or all going for the same set of white collar jobs... not to mention it's not even feasible.
My guess is that J.D. is also the kind of guy who is quick to slam the "slackers" on welfare... and yet he still would rather not afford them a living wage?
Not that the new minimum wage is livable...

JD must not know that the Bush Administration made cuts to the Pell Grant, which is the gateway to college for many adult learners.
But then, he would probably decry that as one of those socialist welfare programs.
