Chinu, you and I debate this all the time. I also debate this with BOW, so here is my post to him.

"

They just reported on MSNBC that the average worker makes 15k and the average CEO makes 9.7 million a year.

And that since 1950 the difference between the average workers pay and the top 1/10 of 1 % is a 1000% increase.

Now it should be obvious to everyone the reason for this is that the top guys have all the power and they use that power to take money from the worker and give it to themselves.

And that the only way to prevent this is for the workers to have unions so they can fight the management in a fair fight.

You and I debate this all the time and I don't understand why you can't see that?

It has always been the fact the powerful take from the less powerful. Always.

"They have now passed a budget, increased the debt ceiling unconditionally, finalized and passed the Agricultural bill. I expect the Congressional approval to inch up because of these and sensible Congress folks would only have to thank Obama's threats of executive orders for this." IMO, whatever can be done, obviously within the law, that can bring about a constructive engagement and consensus agreement across the political spectrum in the USA government should be welcomed and applauded.
