conservatives are getting everything they want for the middle class:

The forecast for the next five to 10 years: more of the same, with
paltry pay gains, worsening working conditions, and little job
security. Right on up to the C-suite, more jobs will be freelance and
temporary, and even seemingly permanent positions will be at greater
risk. "When I hear people talk about temp vs. permanent jobs, I
laugh," says Barry Asin, chief analyst at the Los Altos (Calif.)
labor-analysis firm Staffing Industry Analysts. "The idea that any job
is permanent has been well proven not to be true." As Kelly Services,
CEO Carl Camden puts it: "We're all temps now."

All that cutting has been good for corporate profits. Earnings
rebounded smartly as companies kept payrolls down after the 2001
recession; by 2006 profits had hit a 40-year high as a share of
national income, at 10.2 percent, according to Bureau of Economic
Analysis data.

and for the ultra rich:




unfortunately NONE of the increases in profits and NONE of the
increases in productivity goes to america's middle class.

none of it.


A declaration without corroboration or supporting statistical studies?
Why should I be skeptical?


because you can look it up yourself. it's standard economic knowledge


I beg forgiveness, oh Royal Cop Out.
