What kind of stupid argument is that?

Stupid? Why is it stupid to measure the need of an employee as a bases for what he or she is paid? If nurses are in short supply and can demand more pay, why in a capitalistic society shouldn't they get it? You end up smacking your gums in your old age unable to control your bowels and THEN decide what a person who does the real work in America is worth when they come in to wipe your ars because you can't do it.

But instead of acknowledging what these people have worth you call them "parasites". (If you have a complaint with the wages they are paid why not level your venom on those who were unable to hold the line on wage demands?) Well I say - bull! Over paid sometimes - perhaps - but parasites? A parasite is something that lives off of something else but offers nothing in return. Well nurses and firemen and teachers do in fact offer something in return. But reckless gambling bankers don't offer anything in return for their pay. In return they came to me - the taxpayer - to bail them out. Now who is the real parasite here?
