the reason we deserve increases is the following

1. productivity has increased about 30% in the last 10 years alone.
sharing NONE of this with america's middle class is GREED. pure and
simple.

Productivity increased because we just don't need as many people to
get the job done and the skill set of those people can be lower.

funny germany doesnt see it that way. their heavily unioned work force
has been paid well. and they're competitive

you're trying too hard to spin your right wing head around your failed
idieology. you have been reduced to trying to say the US middle class
is unique in the world in its incompetence and greed. and you say the
wall street folks are decent, moral and hardworking generous folks

bull**** to both

I will use an example I know a lot about

In 1990 a data center would have a quarter acre of machines with 30
operators and 10-15 techs keeping that hardware going. Everyone was
making a pretty good salary.

i have data from the ENTIRE GDP and the ENTIRE Middle class.

you? you have a reader's digest view of the economy

no wonder you're right wing. data means NOTHING to you. anecdotes, old
wives's tales and talk radio are everything
