Would stopping to help have eaten into profits?

Can we infer that you'd prefer an economy of unionized, make
work,
government employees who make a living by taxing each other?
Without
free enterprise you'd have no incentive for innovation or
efficiency.
The former Soviet Union found that out the hard way.
No, Wayne, you cannot infer that, and I'm not advocating
Sov-style
communism. I am in favor of steps that help rebuild the
middle
class in
this country, though. I see no point in a country that exists
only to
enrich the rich.
====
When you talk about rebuilding the middle class, are you
really
refering to the unionized working class? Frankly I'd like to
think
that the days of $80/hour unskilled assembly line workers are
over.
I am referring to the jobs that provide goodm family supporting
wages to
working Americans, with either company or government paid
health
care,
retirement, vacation and similar benefits, because the
concept of
buying those benefits on your own with today's wages and
livings
costs
is pretty much shot. In fact, in today's greed-driven,
corporate-dominated America, those sorts of jobs are pretty
much
shot.
And without those jobs, there really is no point to this
country, is
there? A country that benefits only the rich isn't a country
worth
having.
You really have it in for working class Americans, don't you,
Wayne?
No, he has it in for folks who never went to school, never got a
skill,
making the same money as a trained and schooled engineer...
Obviously, neither you nor Wayne have spent much time in
manufacturing
plants where "products" are turned out. Yes, there are some
really
low-skilled jobs, but most of the workers on the assembly line
or in
factories have a lot more in the way of
factory/assembly/manufacturing
skills than either you or Wayne.
I have spent time there, and know something about it. For example,
UAW
assembly line workers perform low skilled, repetitious jobs that
you
could train a monkey to do. But have huge compensation packages
that
very few enjoy. You really can't defend that.
Everybody wants the PS3 with a big screen, Suburban in the
driveway,
all the premium channels on cable with PPV football on the
weekends,
take the 3 kids to Vegas and Disney twice a year, and all on a C
average high school education. The middle class union-driven greed
took down middle class in American.
You're an ignorant class warrior as well as a racist. What a
surprise.
you are a stooge...
Whatever you think I am, little toad, I have managed my life fairly
well. I managed to get a decent education, managed to get and hold
decent jobs, managed to get my kids through higher ed, managed to
obtain
and hold onto health insurance, managed to run a profitable business
for
several decades without engaging in intellectual property theft,
managed
to set up and maintain a good retirement, managed to help my wife
through graduate school and a doctoral program, and managed to put
away
some bucks for a rainy day.
If memory serves, you haven't managed so well. Do you think your
failures have anything to do with your "stoogeship" on Fox News?
And...you were the first person here to say, "Self-praise sucks."
Good job, Harry.
Bull**** stories suck even more.. But harry is the king..
What are your accomplishments? No career, no job, a hippie daughter and
another who for whatever reasons, probably not of her making, isn't
winning the races you need to get real $ponsorShip so you can live off
that?
And your kids ran from home as soon as they reached the age of majority,
to avoid the abuse.. I did see one pic you posted a couple years back of
your young grandchild painted like a ****ing whore.
Wrong again, little toady. Your fantasies must be about your family
members.
We all remember you crying here your kids would have nothing to do with
you, they left and wouldn't even talk to you.. You cried about it here
for years...
