<<< What a difference three days make. 72 little hours. In that time, a New York Times reporter went from tolling the death knell of real wage growth to reporting a 7-percent wage jump over last year after inflation. An isolated factoid is meaningless but its a favorite tactic of those who want to refute the notion that the rich are getting richer at the expense of the poor. The trend over time has shown that wages for the average worker is mostly static while productivity is increasing. So who is benefeting from all that increased productivity? Funny, how the income of CEOs keeps growing like mad. Any connection? I think so. Look, all your carefully constructed arguments won't change the fact that the rich are getting richer at the expense of the poor. So you can help solve the problem; and if not, then you are part of the problem. Its as simple as that.
