Definitely not more than 20%. With love, Paul.
Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.

Lets hope not. That money will ultimately help far more poor people left in the private sector than it would if given to the government.

How will less tax help "poor people left in the private sector"? With love, Paul.

Because it provides for a more efficient economy. More productivity, more jobs, more opportunity. Now, if we could just get rid of minimum wage and social welfare programs poverty could be eliminated entirely.

That's assuming that he puts a substantial part of his money back into the local economy (investments, purchases, etc). If not, well, he's just going to feed a bunch of mexicans, right? :P

No, thats assuming that he doesn't eat it or use it as fuel for his stove, or hide it under his mattress. The probability of him investing it in a productive, profitable way greatly exceeds that of some government agency doing the same thing with it. If that means investments in Mexico than thats what it means. His investimetns generate more wealth both for himself (which he reinvests) and for the people who find work as a consequence of those investments.

Because he will by onehudred ferraris and two dozen pools which need regular cleaning and this creates jobs and infrastructure and all people will learn that they just need to want to work to make a decent living in a big US american house (not those small huts they have in Commieland) and the Eyerack will see that democracy is the only right choice and finally Europe will admit that they are commie loosers up and the world will live in a free market and it is like Christmas and Hanuuka and Generic Holidays on one day! Or maybe the money will be spent in a way that ensures the poor remain poor.

A realistic rate for some teenager looking to make a few extra bucks is what ever the employer says it is. A realistic rate for some 'family' that won't stop reproducing is effectively infinite and is nothing more than an overly complex welfare program.

Not sure I can handle that. I have never handled $0.5M yet. Let me see my list of how I could possibly spend it
- At least two nice church buildings here in Japan.
- Two buildings for myself (add family, please!)
- Wife
- Cars, Cars, Cars, Cars....H3, Latest Benz, Latest BMW (for my wife)...too old for sport cars!
- Multimedia room with super-graphics/powerful notebooks/workstations running XP/Vista/MacOX
- A first-class seat to Holland - never used first-class!
- Now, how much did I spend so far?
With love, Paul.

I'd just pay off the house, cars, student loans, and a few other bills. Sock the rest of the money away for my kids when they go to college. --- modified Oh, and toss a good chunk of change to Chris so Code Project can run smoothly for a long time :-D

For who? Most 'minimum wage' jobs are taken by teenagers living at home with their parents. They don't need a 'living wage'. It simply forces employers to pay more for labor than the labor itself is worth to them. Hence, they will increase the cost of whatever it is they produce, or they will hire fewer people.

Ah! I see. I do not like loans. I currently use a second-hand honda civic car I bought with cash. I wish to drive the latest Nissan Skyline, though :(( Anyway, it is good you have great plans for your kids. God bless you. With love, Paul.

Not necessarily true. When I worked at Target about 13 years ago, when beginning college, the majority of people working there were 30-40-50 year olds holding down several minimum wage jobs just to make ends meet.

Thanks. I'd hate to see my kids run up a big student loan bill like myself.
