"Yeah," someone else says doing a quick calculation. "And do you know what that means for us, doncha?"
"What?"
"It means we'll all be on Easy Street; that's what it means. Think about it; in the Kingdom, workers will be paid as much for working one hour as we now do working all day. We'll all be making a hundred grand a year!"
Everyone laughs.
"No, I mean it. Do the math: minimum wage is (equivalent to) $7.25 an hour, right? That means that those guys who worked only one hour earned $58. That's $464 dollars a day, if they had worked all day -- or $2320 per week, or $9280 per month, or $111,360 per year! Now that's a just wage for bustin' our butts. Whaddaya think? Talk about a workers' paradise!"
By this time, everyone's laughing so hard, they're in tears.
Hmm . . . Kingdom economics. Kingdom pay for minimum wage workers: $58.00 an hour. . . . First/last; last/first . . . .
"Devout Catholic," Paul Ryan, along with other "Christian" skinflints in Congress should take note this Sunday!
