Those who control the wealth like it just fine that way. You'll try to make the same amount by working 10,000 hours this year, and someone benefits from your additional productivity.


I've done my part as a taxpayer, when the government used my money to help businesses in trouble, and didn't complain. I did my part as a consumer, spending every cent that I earn, and didn't complain. Corporate America is sitting on huge cash reserves. It's time that that they do their part and hire people and pay those people a wage that can support a middle class family.
