Subject: RE: Does musician travel drive up cost?
Conrad,

From now on I am going to ask the people who hire me or my bands to pay us less. I am going to explain to them that it is better in the long run for us to be paid less because he will hire us more often.   Further more I am going to ask them to charge less for a beer and less for a sandwich. I am going to find out where they buy their supplies from and ask the supplier to charge less for the supplies that make the sandwiches. I am gonna go to the farmer and suggest to him to charge less for his milk butter and eggs.

So when the farmer losses his farm because he can't pay his bills.

And the supplier can't support a local economy so to stay in business he has to buy from third world economies who put glycol in baby formulae.

The saloon owner can't get people to come for his fine Beer and hot dogs because the brewer couldn't buy the grain from the farmer who has recently sold the family farm for condos. A sausage maker has been arrested for putting sawdust filler in his hot dogs because even he can't make both ends meat. The bar can't sell a sandwich. And with no reason to come to the bar except for music that no one can afford because some where along the line one person's work was under valued.

I will know I have done my bit for the expansion of poverty and personal fulfillment

Conrad, your argument should be taught in Economic classes through out the US. I think you have single handedly shown me the falsity of Socialism.

Thanks.

Don
