<p>[QUOTE="Jim Bonner, post: 1246430, member: 32536"]Sorry, about the $40 a week.. that was what I was making mowing yards in the housing project when I was nine years old. Just goes to show you that people who are willing to sweat can make a dollar... Apparently I don't sweat as much as i did 50 years ago though because I am not making $900000000 a minute now or whatever your figure was.. and yes I did have the car and the girls. But the point is that in 1970 a simiskilled acme gridley screw machine set up man could make $300 a week.. Adjusted for the value of the dollar they make a tenth that now. Minimum wage in 1970 was $1.60 per hour so maybe you could bring some kind of action against those people who were paying you 50 cents.. I don't think there is a statute of limitations on federal wage and hour crimes. And I wasn't rich.. but Damn Good Looking!</p><p><br /></p><p>(p.s. you might invest in a math class.. unless you were in fact working 16 hours a day five days a week @ 50 cents per hour)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
