If you had a job making $20 per hour and now you were on unemployment and getting the equivalent of $11-$12 per hour you may not take a job paying $9 per hour. Instead you might ride out the unemployment and try to find something that pays more.

Did you do the math on that, from an employer's perspective?
(Sorry, I fucking HATE rhetorical questions. I know you didn't do the math, just like I know you don't have many employees in that range. If you did, you'd know your math makes as much sense as this "Stimulus2" package that Obama is pushing. In other words... you don't have employees in that range, and you didn't do the math. End of story.)
(P.S. I don't know you, please don't take offense - it wasn't meant to be personal. Also, please don't reply if you're a liberal. Those fucking idiots annoy the shit out of me.)
(P.P.S. Do you realize that a $4000 credit barely covers the employers tax liability on a "highly qualified" yet "picky and intelligent" and "discriminating" employee of that caliber if you employ that individual long enough to actually earn the credit? I could and SHOULD rant on this subject, but I don't want to steal someone else's thunder. I'm too busy to follow up on that thunder, because I actually DO know how to make profit.)
