So I'm having a conversation with previously-new boss...we'll call him Dan. Somehow we got to talking about the restrictions on drilling and the efforts to get the non-gas producing regions (read: Philly) in on the cash. He wonders out loud how PA voters allowed themselves to get in such a mess.
After some thought, I responded, "Have you ever been to NJ? Spent time in NY state? Its easy to vote with the idea: at least that idea isn't as bad as NJ or NY!" As NY and NJ get progressively worse ($7 just to enter a state park? What's up with that), so too will PA, as voters consistently say "At least we're not as bad as NJ or NY". He agreed. I then resolved that perhaps getting more Texans up here isn't a bad thing: perhaps after they register to vote, they can help change some of what is going on up here. I for one, would love to eliminate the state income tax.

Wealth of Nations: Wages-Introduction
Smith's treatment of the wages of labor in Chapter VIII of Book I has several aspects that cannot be discussed or reflected in a single post. As a result, I will focus on these aspects:
1) forced wage limits
2) fair wages and just wages
3) unions
