tell that to the kids of that laid-off auto worker in Lansing. better yet, tell that to the most gifted player on my baseball team; he wears glasses to school but doesn't wear them to play (and seriously hurts his performance) 'cause he can't risk breaking them as his mom is on strike today asking for a wage of higher than $9.55 an hour to clean up the offices of big-shot portfolio managers and lawyers in downtown Boston. tell them that Martha Stewart, rich beyond anybody's wildest dreams, is a waste to put in jail 'cause she only stole a couple of hundred g's.

Cheers
