In all this discussion, you've never answered the questions asked by myself
or Tom.

A lot of side-stepping, but no direct answer.

Well Colonel, I'm not in the service. Why in the hell, would I take
orders from you? Answer your own strawman.

You've got to be something of an intellectual nitwit to attempt to
portmanteau these isolated incidents of JustHate's into any sort of
universal truth.

What defines "work hard," anyway? It's certainly more than "just"
physical labor.

Do your own research to prove him wrong. Twenty years of welfare and
nothing but questions. Too lazy to use the internet. Still on welfare.

Who holds your hand to cross the street?

Well, that's kind of the point. What data do you trust?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics.


Who should benefit from the obvious productivity increase - the company
or the workers?

Historically, when productivity increases, there may be a lag, but wages
also increase. What's changed?

The answer to that, is far more devastating to this country's long term
economic health, than the middle-class not getting their share.

What's the measure of productivity he's quoting? Per unit, per hour,
per what? I would think that if a company over 8 years increased it's
productivity by 20% (which is 2.5%/yr by the way) that's not a whole lot
considering inflation, raw material costs, etc. And if your company has
a high labor quotient to the cost of production, that's almost
negligible.

If you want to consider inflation, real wages have decreased.

Hard work is earning a days pay, by giving up a days work....

snerk

These "demands" are mostly an attribute of the righties, several of whom
seem to get indignant when you don't play by their rules. Herring does
this, as does BAR, and a few others on that shrinking side of the fence,
as does Loogy, who isn't a rightie, but is just confused.

One of the political discussion boards where I participate a bit has a
few righties who are absolutely rip**** over my failure to respond in
depth to their endless questions about my dislike for Sarah Palin, who
they think will be the GOP's savior in 2012.

Incidentally, there was a fire in Palin's old church...you think maybe
those witches that preacher drove from her returned to extract their
vengence?

Orders?

Have you ever noticed that most liberals, when asked a specific question,
will ignore the question, change the subject, or resort to personal
insults... rather than answer the question?

That's no definition.
