We don’t work cheap, around 45.00 an hour here for a plumber, AC tech, or electrician. A business has to have overhead and profit on top of that.

Right the Plumber gets the $45 from his employer, the employer's charges the customer the $150 to cover the costs of overhead, insurance, SS, Unemployment, medical, dental, and profit.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
