carlislematthew, your comments make me recall a situation when I was a financial manager for a company where I proposed that we have monthly pay for salaried employees and bi-weekly pay for hourly employees to save the trouble of weekly payroll processing. I proposed that we pay IN ADVANCE, then adjust differences in arrears as necessary.
I had a revolt and we had to scrap the proposal. Can you imagine that people did not like to be paid IN ADVANCE (like getting paid on the 1st of October for the whole month of October)?!
With that kind of logic, I’m not surprised that our politicians and businesses can pull the wool over our eyes.
