It appears the bigger problem is the lack of proficiency in second grade math. If your employer is aware of the situation they could be paying you a third of your wages while you're convinced you're getting a bonus.

Your looking at ~8$US an hour and half the guys running for political office this year want to lower it. You have to remember that our economy is based on the concept that if we take care of the rich some how the Tide will rise us all. One day it way.
If you look at our gas prices you have to remember it so low because the taxes go back to our Military-Industrial Complex and not for Education, Health, or InfaStructure Improvements.

I would not doubt it at all. Of course I have no proof, if I did I would be a part of it and would not tell you, after all I have now got my slice of the pie and I had taken from you. Steal your own.

In the US we tend to travel much further to work and public transit is not nearly as good. I mean I used to drive right at 30 miles, one way, to high school.
