Thanks, I definitely won’t qualify for the $600 limit. As I said, a housewife’s job is cleaning the house, and I frown upon the laziness of housewives who hire people to clean their homes. How do their husbands let them get away with it? Do the husbands hire someone to do their office work, ie. I don’t feel like making those sales calls today, and evaluating those budget proposals, so I will use my personal money to hire someone to do that while I kick back and read the paper, and that means no family vacation this year. How well would that go over?
Back to the wages issue. I remember paying cleaning people $10/hr about 6 years ago, while I was working for a few months. So that’s about a 80% raise. Who else got an 80% raise in the last 6 years? How do they get that pricing power?
