| Message | If a person is willing to work full time, then they should be properly compensated (IE: being able to afford to live). However, this may cause inflation in the market much more quickly than if minimum wage were set by the economy itself... We're rather on the fence about this one. |

| Message | OOC: Seeing as you three are on a fence, I'm going to do this redneck style. Pull out a gun in public (Sekowo laws permit me), point to you guys on the fence and say: "Jump." Let's see where the bodies fall. =) |
