Let's go back to serfdom, eh?

------------------------------------------
Huh?
Why would we need serfdom? When the government gets in the business of
business and tells them they have to pay a "living wage" they have skewed
the markets. San Francisco requires any government paid project to pay
their definition of a "living wage". For a construction laborer, that is
$35 an hour. Anywhere else in the Bay Area a laborer gets about $15 and
hour plus bennies. And the City wonders why they are bankrupt. Just like
California. Gov. Brown wants a big tax increase on the so called rich to
help balance a bloated state budget. We were $14 billion behind at last
count in revenue. $11 billion deficit last year. Control spending? Nope.
Budget is up $5 billion already this year. Sort of like DC trying to spend
us out of debt. Ain't going to work.
