Can we infer that you'd prefer an economy of

government employees who make a living by taxing
each other?
Without
free enterprise you'd have no incentive for
innovation or

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?


You don't know ****. What are your accomplishments, being ****ed
by your
drunken father, forcing yourself on little girls and boys, hiding
in
your basement, and spending your inheritance???


And he goes insane is 3......2......1.....

Blah, please try to make sense.
