Do you know what the CEO of the Salvation Army makes? A lot less than the President of the Red Cross!

How much do you make ridge? Kinda a personal question, eh? I just think that somebody who believes they can put their figure on the wage a man earns should be willing to tell everyone how much he earns and what he does to earn it. That way we can compare and judge just as you have. Could you make it on ten dollars an hour? Yah, I know, you would pull yourself up buy the bootstraps and find a better income. Do you really think it's possible for everyone to do that? And do you think the ever widening of the income gap is solely (or even mostly) because of a lack of effort for most of our low wage earners?

Could you make it on ten dollars an hour? You just won't accept that all jobs are not meant to support familys. A job that only requires the ability to give back the correct change the computer says should not be paying what it does, plus bennies and full pension, at the expense of taxpayers. A job making Egg McMuffins is not meant to support a family. Barring a true disability. Yes. Everyone is capable of bettering themselves to a position that can support a family. Every kid in this country is given the free tools and the education to do well if they choose to. No. But the lack of effort, and the generations of reliance on others, is a significant part of the problem. I have said many times what I do for a living.

What should the President of a multi-billion dollar business make? It takes money to get qualified people. Its a charity. It does not take qualified people to run a large charity?

It does not take qualified people to run a large charity? Certainly! Nothing wrong with paying a fair wage for the position. The question is whether her wage is a fair wage for the lead of a charity. Is the mission to help others or to line their own pockets? Or both? As Muttley asked, do you know what the CEO of the Salvation Army makes?

If the skill it takes to run the charity is something that is highly valued in the open market, it would seem that a similar value would have to be placed on the same position n a charity so that qualified people accept the job.
ridge, I don't know what you do for a living. You may have said what it is a thousand times, but I never really wondered until I read so many of your posts in which you opined what others in the work force are worth. I know a few other folks who seem to believe they are the only people who earn their money. Most of them also believe they are the only people who are underpaid, too. Takes all kinds I suppose.

So do you believe that every job, regardless of the skill necessary to do it, should be paid a living wage?

Nope. I don't now and I never have. Which is why I asked. Every time there is a discussion about low wage earners, your position always seems to be that they should be paid more to support a family.

Maybe someone should ask Rawley exactly how it came to be that he even has that position? There was no KECA when the visitor center was being planned but there seems to be some extrordinary chain of events that occurred that put him where he is now and what comes with it. In my opinion he is not a very honest or trustworthy person.

I don't keep up with the Elk saga and I'm no expert on Rawley Cogan.Didn't he go from the PGC to the RMEF?I know zero about the KECA and how and why it was established.Gossip is often interesting though.

Rawley originally worked for PGC, then went to the RMEF. When the visitor center was first dicussed, the RMEF was goin to chip in money to help the PGC. A dispute developed between the two and RMEF pulled out of the deal. Im not sure, but I believe it had somethin to do with a special lisence for RMEF. After RMEF pulled out the deal, Penna. formed their own elk foundation to raise money for the visitor center. At that time, Rawley left the RMEF to be hired by the newly formed foundation.

Was just reading where 1 family has 4 elk tags drawn in 2 years, 2 bull tags & 2 cow tags.
Lady luck sure acts funny at times.

He drew a cow tag on Saturday, then drew the KECA raffle bull tag on Sunday. Since he can only have 1 tag, he forfeited the cow tag. Anyhow, there is another example of lady luck.

A flat lander cousin drew a cow tag, back in the early years of the drawings. Forget the year, but it was probably around 2002 or so? One of mom's brother's boys and she was the one that told me he'd gotten the tag. Mom passed away in 2005, so it was prior to that. AS it turned out, there was a picture of the elk and my cousins in the Wellsboro paper, when I got up to camp for deer season that fall. One of his bothers is a DCNR ranger working out of Wellsboro and got a guide "license" to help his bro out. The ranger contacted some of his fellow DCNR guys out in elk country, went out there, met up with them and scoped things out ahead of time. The cousin with the cow tag, got to fill it that year with his bro's help. That was about the extent of his "connections" with getting a tag and an elk. My connections didn't work out either, as I never got any of the meat. As for the Red Cross, they're not very popular in our family for various reasons. About the only charity I donate to is the Salvation Army.
