Sure. Be my guest. C'mon over and settle in at your third world wage.
I don't think you're getting my point.
The U.S. min. wage in this case is around eight times higher than the PH min. wage. the U.S. ave. monthly wage is ten times higher than the PH min. wage. The U.S. cost of living is 70 pct higher than that of PH. U.S. rent is around 200 pct higher.
That's why large numbers of people in Third World countries want to work in industrialization countries and are able to send money back home.
The first counter-claim is that the cost of living is wrong, and Denver is mentioned. But the cost of living given in the site is an average for the U.S.
The second counter-claim is that the cost of living is based on what's submitted by those who visit the site, and the ave. cost of living is different. What are the correct figures?
The third counter-claim is that taxes are not considered. The ave. monthly wages given are after taxes.
The fourth counter-claim, yours, refers to "el Jefe" and "organized crime syndicate" and other weird points. But the cost of living calculated refers to prices in stores, bills from electric and gas companies, etc. Are you saying that all these businesses, including large supermarket chains and utilities, are run by "el Jefe" who can give discounts to migrant workers (which for some reason you now equate with illegal immigrants) in exchange for lower wages?
