Dear God

Should there turn out to be, after I depart this vale, a God in heaven, I think the first question I will ask Her will be why it was that rich people were always so convinced that our world would be a better place if poor people made less money.

Carly Fiorina this week became the latest ultra wealthy person to proclaim her opposition to the federal minimum wage, saying it didn't make sense to pay people who live in Iowa the same as people who live in New York City.  Fiorina, who failed massively as the CEO of Hewlett-Packard yet walked away with over $100 million (the rest of us get 26 weeks of unemployment pay when we fail at our jobs), seemed not to understand that states were free to set a higher minimum wage and that the federal wage was a starting point, lest our fellow Americans in the South set a minimum wage of a dollar an hour and we have to send even more of our tax dollars to bail them out.

The second question I would have for God, of course, would be if rich people had to spend eternity getting slapped upside the head for being such assholes.

Peace,
