86. It's not a wage. It's a cost to employ. MUCH DIFFERENT.

The wage does not include FICA, health care, insurance, retirement, training, safety, vacation, holidays, ...

It may not include accounting/reporting, supervision, office space/equipment/upkeep, ...

The politicians/judges/prosecutors/police get a wage. They also get FICA, health care, insurances, retirement ... that are not counted as a wage.

Some union workers get a wage and then have several dollars per hour taken out to pay their own retirement, health care, ...

Comparing these wages is like that old comparing apples to oranges.

Let the Republicans lie like rugs. Trouble is you have to beat the dirt out of them.
