QUOTE Once again, you don't understand the conversation. If the wages were up, there would be less need for assistance. How does a pro team win when there is just one star player? Trust me, there are many out there that really do not want a hand out but need one.
Once again you can't see the forest for the trees, this population explosion with under educated, under achieving derelicts along with the burgeoning criminal immigrant population is the dilution of our labor force. And before you have the chance I work with a lot of immigrants, most of them not worth a damn but there are a few that are hard workers and though fewer, some that shine.

So because of some bad workers, everyone should not be allowed a comfortable wage. You are dope!

Wow, you are really dense. What part of the article did you not read and understand? Pretty much the whole thing huh? It is not about giving everyone a handout. It is about how the pieces have been stacked in favor of a few. A healthy economy needs many players. This has nothing to do with how well a few work. This is the big picture. Try playing cards with a card counter and you might start to get a clue.

Yes I read the article and Reich loves to bash Reagan and I would have to make the same observation, you really are dense. But I suppose it's just a difference in upbringing.
Fend for yourself, work not only hard but smart. We live in different times now, we participate in a world economy.
There are no guarantees in life, nobody owes anybody a living.
It's hard to count cards with 6 deck shoes but I try.

Yes. The wealthy have global markets now and are much less dependent on American consumers. This is why, even during a sputtering recovery, the wealthy have seen their profits exceed their pre-recession profits by 60%.
Both parties and the fed are no longer interested in stimulating the economy. Their number one constituency, the rich, are quite happy with a sluggish economy so why should they worry?
In other words, if you're rich, it ain't broke, so why fix it..?

Why is rebuilding the middle class always equated with isolationism by you Ayn Rand types? (She had no problem taking Social Security, when the time came, by the way.)
What's wrong with instead eliminating all the cronyism in Washington politics?
You need to stop falling for that BS that says America is about the actions of individuals, striving alone. The people saying that already have all the money. Put down the Rand and read some Chomsky.

America was and will continue to be built by individuals. But I have to agree, cronyism in Washington needs to be stopped, on both sides of the aisle.
By the way, though I have retirement resources put away but I will take my SS, I paid in, I want as much back as I can get.
