Hey, would-be producers out there: I have the perfect TV reality show anyone could or would ever need to watch. It would be suspenseful, it would affect all the audience members totally and completely, and would be filled with both tears of pain and joy equally.
Enough of the current batch of ho-hum shows--THIS is the future of reality programs like you wouldn't believe!
Imagine: take a high profile senator or representative, one with a little bit of money to his or her name, and propose the following. They would have to switch off with one of their employees, probably the one with the lowest pay, for one week. They would have to do ALL the average, day-to-day chores and jobs associated with being in the lowest class tax category. Everything from washing dishes, making beds, doing the shopping, cooking, and anything and everything their employer has them doing on a normal basis. And, if the employee is a foreigner, the senator or representative should learn how to converse in the language if it is an integral part of the employee's job.
In turn, the employee will take over the employer's job for the same week....even to the point of making demands on the employer as employee. During that week, they will make decisions, do meetings, everything except vote on the part of the employer. They will face choices, listen to constituents, drink expensive wine or champagne (someone has to do it!) and be chauffeured around town as necessary.
When the week is over, a studio audience or experts in the field (people like KO, Jon, Stephen, etc., including **shudder** a few conservatives) will judge which of the two did a better job in various categories. The winner will be awarded a trophy, and be eligible for a special, end-of-the-season award. If the employee wins, a cash awarded will be given, if the employer wins, the cash will be awarded to their favorite charity.
