>I've never lived under communism (thankfully) but I think you are way over-simplifying many things here.
>For instance you say "the investment have to be returned" and you seem to say that the peron receiving the education has made the "investment". But, in a communist country is it not the state that made the "investment"?
>For instance you say "if more rich societies can afford to set higher minumum salry, we couldn't afford". How do you believe this should be solved... by lowering the the living standard of the "more rich societies"? Is it not better for everyone to raise the poorer ones instead???
>For instance you say "If we do not pay well educated people they will imigrate...". When they emigrate they might find that a loaf of bread costs 20 TIMES what they pay now, milk 25 TIMES, rent 250 TIMES, etc. And most likely they will find that they cannot get a job in their specialty. In other words, these things are all relative and far more important once the person has that most valuable of commodities, which is freedom.
>For instance you say "Fair is everybody to receive according his work". This of course sounds very good, and a tad better than communism where it is 'according to their need'. So just how is this compensation for the work supposed to be determined when prices for day-to-day necessary good vary so much between countries??????? Lowering everyone to the same level may actually cause a rise in YOUR living standard, but how is it "fair" to those who already have a higher living standard???? You may not be aware, but jobs are disappearing here but prices of most necessary good KEEP GOING UP anyways!

>You present a nice simple theory but for it to work far far too many people MUST suffer degradation, and this is not good.

Hi Jim,
the cost of bread, milk and meat is the same in Canada, USA, UK, Germany, Russia and Bulgaria. This is because of globalisation. Bulgaria import veal from USA and Agentina because it is cheaper than produced here.
The only difference is HOW MUCH EVERYBODY CAN AFFORD TO BUY with earned salary. This creates standard of living.

The Bulgaria is not communist country from 15 years, may be most of you do not notice this :-)

The rules are the same as in other countries in the world.

High minimum page create lazy persons. I am against fixing of minimum page. If there are jobs and peoples which are agree to work for this salaries they are OK. Otherwise business is forced to move in low cost countries some industries which require lowcost wages. Or creates job black market.
If bussiness do not do this, consumers like me and you will refuse to buy some goods.

The this usually are so simly. Why to make them complex? :-)
