Where does the line for McCain's $50/hr. agricultural jobs in Yuma form?

1. Lettuce picking all season

it will seriously damage your back.

[Gormy Cuss]

8. Well, that means the workers deserve top dollar

because by the time they hit middle age they won't be able to do the jobs that require good backs. Perhaps McCain's off hand remark is right on the money.

There have been advances in recent years on less back-breaking harvesting techniques for other crops. Perhaps someone will find away to minimize the stoop harvesting method used on crops like lettuce.

9. That's the MLB/NFL mantra, is it not? n/t

[Gormy Cuss]

11. It is parallel to the justification for athletes' salaries

come to think of it. The low pay can only be justified on a worker supply basis and if there will alwats be workers available to take your place in the row when your back gives out, there's little incentive to pay you more money, unless of course you have a union or laws that dictate better behavior on the part of employers.

3. Sorry, those jobs were filled in the first second

McCain opened his mouth.

5. Damn it! Always a day late and a dollar short...

Translation: lazy American.

4. Apply right here!

6. Pretty much the stupidest thing he ever said

[Earth_First]

7. You mean, besides stumping for * in 2004? n/t

10. Yet another out of touch Republican!

He probably thinks that all kinds of people make $50/hr. He obviously has no idea how hard it is to find a job that pays just enough to get by.
