ours is 9%

gee. looks like unions are good for WORKING people.

and CEO's have had their way in the last 8 years with the GOP.

how's our economy doing? we a strong, economically powerful country
with no unions? we have an economy that's EXACTLY the way the right
wants it

no regulations on wall street

no unions

I don't know about yours but my portfolio is doing quite nicely. Thanks
for asking.

do so well?

the middle class hasnt had a pay increase in 35 years.

I just checked my 401k and it is up 4.3% this year already. Last year it
