A tale of rich and poor at The Villages | Commentary - Orlando Sentinel
As a community, we should take responsibility for this situation. I realize nobody likes to pay higher prices and in fact I think what we pay for most products is similar to other areas in Florida. I think the difference is that the profit is being retained by a few and not being given to the ones that actually provide the labor.
The concern is when does this economic disparity break paradise. I believe we are already seeing cracks. Stick your head in the sand and hope your gone before it impacts you, but this disparity will not just magically disappear. |
You do realize this paper has not been favorable to The Villages. Orlando, of all places should tout wage discrepancies. I want every detail, number, American citizen and all pertinent details for this survey. I have my doubts and think the numbers are skewed.
Did anyone ever consider that if Orlando must pay superior wages and is about one hour away, why wouldn’t one move and live there?
