  @@grobin3745 You seem to be the one fooled. Wealth is generated by the labor provided by workers. Specifically the worker provides a service or transforms materials into a good. These are then sold for some amount of wealth. Under a capitalist system the amount of wealth the good or service is sold for is increased above cost to produce a profit. Further under capitalism that profit is increased by cutting input costs by numerous means, including reducing the pay of the worker that did the labor in the first place. I will also point out that the entire premise of your explanation already backs up the premise of what I am saying by implicitly acknowledging that the worker has done something to generate wealth which is used in part to pay them a pay check. Please don't delude yourself in others into thinking that workers don't do anything, when instead it is the capitalist that isn't doing anything beyond the initial setup and acquisition of resources.

  He get's 1 dollar for working 1 day, which is 8 hours, but that irrelevant. What matters is he worked those days, so he instantly is owed 287 (including Saturday what has been halved in value). He took 14 days off so now he is owed 273. Now he loses 1/8 of the dollar because of his 1 hour break. That means 1/8 of 273. That is -34 which means he is owed 239. He had 13 days in holidays so thats another -13. That means in total he is owed $226.

  Alright, breakdown time (this is too sly not to be exposed): _Quick note before we begin: Some comments have pointed out some logic flaws I missed, so I've added those in later._ 365 days @ $1/day = $365 8 hours = 1/3 day 1/3 x $365 = $121 (rounding down, but fair enough so far) _But of course Costello couldn't be expected to work the full 24 hours, so it'd be more reasonable to consider each day he works the number of hours expected a full day's payment, thus effectively nullifying this discount._ Take out Sundays for 52 Sundays a year 121 - 52 = 69 (nice) Here we see our first logical flaw. Abbott "forgets" to take into account his calculation regarding hours worked, thus reducing the payment by triple. The actual fair equation should read: Take out Sundays for 52 Sundays a year @ $1/3 a day 1/3 x 52 = approx. 17 (again rounding down, but I reckon it cancels out the rounding down before, since this reduces the amount taken away) 121 - 17 = 104 (already increased by over 30%) Take out half Saturdays for 52 Saturdays a year 52/2 = 26 69 - 26 = 43 Again, Abbott "forgets" to take into account his first calculation, compounding on the previous error. With all errors resolved, the equation is thus: Take out half Saturdays for 52 Saturdays a year @ $1/3 a day 1/6 x 52 = approx. 8.5 (more rounding down because I'm nice) 104 - 8.5 = 95.5 In fact, Costello could gain even more depending on what is meant by "half day". If this means half of what he usually works (i.e. 4 hours), then the equation remains the same. However, if it means a half of the full day (i.e. 12 hours), he would actually gain money, since he works more than usual: (1/2 x 52 - the money that Costello earns in total) - (1/3 x 52 - the money that Costello earns in excess of his usual earnings) = 1/6 x 52 Therefore, he gains what he originally lost: 104 + 8.5 = 112.5 Sadly, this latter option is unlikely given the context: if it had been the case, even Costello would've noticed Abbott's trick, as he would be plainly losing money; thus, I'll work with the value of $95.50 from here. Take out vacation for 14 days 43 - 14 = 29 Once again, Abbott relies on his old trick of "forgetting" his first calculation; doubly clever as this reaffirms the idea that it is actually sound logic (repetition legitimises, shout out to Adam Neely viewers). The completely rectified equation: Take out vacation for 14 days @ $1/3 a day 1/3 x 14 = approx. 5 (I've been too lenient) 95.5 - 5 = 90.5 _Edit: Additionally, Abbott already discounted Sundays and half Saturdays, meaning the vacation should only result in 12.5 days worth of payment: 12.5 days @ $1/3 a day 1/3 x 12.5 = 4.2 95.5 - 4.2 = 91.3_ Take out one hour for lunch for 365 days 365/24 = approx. 15.2 (Holy crap Abbott's good at math when he wants to be) 29 - 15 = 14 Abbott switches from flawed to flawless logic- ironically- flawlessly. Taking into account past corrections: 90.5 - 15.2 (since we're working with decimal points now apparently) = 75.3 _Edit: (I can't believe I didn't spot this) Abbott has completely disregarded all days he already discounted (Sundays, half Saturdays and the vacation). This means the actual number of days worth of pay discounted should actually be: 365 - 52 - 26 - 12.5 = 275.5 So: 275.5/24 = approx. 11.5 91.3 - 11.5 = 79.8 And this is assuming his lunch hour isn't sandwiched in between his 8 hours, making 9 in total and nullifying the need for this discount entirely._ Take out holidays for 13 days- wait a minute... do these days coincide with the vacation mentioned earlier...? Probably not, again, Costello would've noticed. 14 -13 = 1 You know where this is going 13/3 = approx. 4.3 (you'll see, it works out) 75.3 - 4.3 = 71 _Edited: 79.8 - 4.3 = 75.5_ If Abbott hadn't been -a character in a math related comedy show- a sly manipulative employer (which, to be fair, can also be said of Costello's characters), Costello would've gained up to $71. If the waiter for some strange reason had still interpreted one of Costello's dollars as charity, it would've rounded it out to a nice even $70 (so close... so close). Probably enough to get by until he found another job. _And with the help of @Cam Bowman, we've gotten him another $4.50 for a total of $75.50... unless Cam's theory about Costello's lunch hour is correct, then the figure shoots up to $15 for a whopping $86. Thank you for your help! Together, little by little, we can achieve justice for Costello!_ _And then @Jupi swoops in and multiplies Costello's salary threefold. Legendary._ This, ladies and gentlemen, is why you need maths. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk, next week I discuss why Buster Keaton is a madlad. Sincerely, Oscar Gill P.S. If you find any more errors in my logic, please let me know in the replies and I'll rectify it as quickly as possible!

  You missed where Abbott slyly converted a two week vacation into a 14 day deduction, despite those two weeks containing 2 Saturdays and 2 Sundays A similar thing happens when talking about that 1 hour off for lunch which he applied to 365 days, when it has already been counted out of Sundays and vacation days, and probably Saturdays as well if he's taking a half day on those And that's assuming that taking a 1 hr lunch break means working 7 hours instead of 8. If it's just splitting up the 8 hours it shouldn't be deducted at all.

  Sorry but you are really far off. Try reading Chris Costello's book "Lou's on First". I'll correct a few of your mistakes but the book is still worth reading (BTW, there was a movie made from the book named "Bud and Lou". It was inaccurate to the point of Chris Costello saying "well, at least they got the name right") 1) Costello died in the hospital of a heart attack caused by the rheumatic fever Lou had most of his life. 2) Most of their tax problems came from a) poor booking and money management b) a dishonest accountant that didn't file their taxes for years and then skipped off to South America with millions of their money. 3) I have no idea about the USO shows. If he worked for free, how could they tax him? 4) Yes, the IRS took almost everything they had to the point where they took Lou's wedding ring off his finger. A&C raised MILLIONS for the U.S. during the war and the strain almost killed Lou. That gratitude for you. It was almost as bad as what the British government did to Alan Turing. Turing broke the German enigma code that saved thousands of lives. Churchill after the war he praised Turing for his contribution to the war effort and then the government went after Turing for being gay and offered him either prison time of chemical castration. Turing committed suicide.
