I am ready to start a business and SLAVE a few folks.

Not much, but a little more than a gallon of gas.

Who cares. No one works for minimum wage.

I think he's just trying to see if he's worth it...

My employees will!

$5.85

Or approximately $160 above poverty level for a single individual after taxes.

I worked for the minimum wage once. It took me all of a couple of months to go from the minimum ($1.00/hr) to be promoted to stock boy at $1.35/hr. In other words I got a 35% pay increase above the minimum wage at the ripe old age of 16.

it is more than us MODs make!!!

Yea and ya know what they say. Ya get what ya pay for....ZING!

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! touche

i will work for ya cheap out of my home office.. only 75K a year. thats about minimum wage now, right?

That is about the minumum I would consider getting up outta bed, shaving, getting dressed and driving in for. Less than that and it will be retirement time for PH.

Guess I won't bother bringing up the $25,000 or so a year that we somewhow get by on then.

There is nothing whatsoever wrong with that Gary. Nothing at all. I was only saying that the lure of retirement is such that for much less than the amount noted, I would just hang up my cleats and retire. Absent a raise or two, I am within five years of retirment...maybe six to keep the social security folks happy.

Too much.
