		<description>I thought your poll on health care looked inviting, but the option I would vote for wasn&#039;t there.

So, here&#039;s my vote ... I neither love nor hate my health care provider.They have their moments whey they&#039;re helpful and those moments when they aren&#039;t. 

Some private health providers are better than others, as well.

Thanks for the poll, though. Keep putting them out there because they&#039;re enjoyable!</description>

		<description>Except in times of disaster or work-force reductions, there will always be more job seekers than there are jobs. The simple forces of supply and demand requires workers to compete with each other to the point where they can no longer accept lower wages. That&#039;s subsistence wages.

Work-force reductions are good for the workers because it has the employers competing for the available workers which means better compensations and better working conditions.

Work force reduction occur when a society lowers the retirement age (which I strongly support) or reduces the work week (say, to 35 hours like they did in France) or when minimum leave laws are enforced, requiring employers to pay for more time off such as vacation time, maternity leave, paternity leave, and sick leave.

Of course, this means that companies that are relying on poverty-level employees will have to change their business models or go broke, but good riddance. If you can&#039;t pay a living wage, shut your doors and someone will come along behind you and show you how it&#039;s done.</description>

		<description>You say wages will always reduce to subsistence levels. Why do you believe that?</description>
