Ed, we’ve got to lower the price of local government. Too many people are making over $100,000 a year in the schools, the cops and firemen. A lot of people only make $30,000 to $40,000 a year. If they say they can’t get good people for $100,000, think again. A lot of people would take those jobs for $100,000 with those pensions and health benefits.

Cheap Labor

OK. So we’ll trade out all these bigwigs with whatever letters after their names and whatever qualifications for some upbeat commonfolk who would really appreciate those jobs. I like the idea, but something tells me we’d notice the lack of some of those qualifications.—Ed. Note
