gee. too bad their wages suck, huh?


Hell NO! It's a tremendous advantage!

for the rich

oh...i forgot...you think wages are welfare.

I don't understand, the scum you elect tell you it's good for you, totally
disregarding the fact that cost is unrelated to price.

sorry. never voted conservative in my life

and i'm sure the fascist dicitatorship of your country is all about
egalitarianism

and let's look at the real world, OK? the US middle class worker
makes a coffee pot for 20% less than it cost 10 years ago. the rich
factory owner sells the pot and gives precisely

zero pay increases to the workers...which is what we have going today.

Why should you (or anyone else) get a raise?

because it's good for the economy, moron.

Ever heard of earning a raise?
What have you done to improve your capabilities?

why? do you think i'm the ENTIRE middle class?

oh. you cant handle that questions.


americans have a sense of nationalism. europeans do not. ever been to
europe? apparently you haven't.

few countries are more nationalistic than the US. what the other
countries have that the US does NOT is a sense of fairness to middle
class wage earners. america has a LARGE conservative base. which is
pro rich. which is why the middle class is dying.


If you live in the U.S, even now, you wouldn't like living almost
anywhere
as the "middle class" in Europe.

Go spend a night in downtown Frankfurt, Paris, Munich, Amsterdam, see the
homes and amenities, the hotel you can occupy for $200 a night. (US$, as
they are worthless). In the U.S. of 25 years ago it would be considered
government housing.

uh...i've been to europe a number of times. i ask again:

why dont they have the huge spread between the middle class and the
rich that we do?

go ahead. answer the question.


oh. you can't



But it's better there, right?

Speaking of U.S. dollars, Philippine Banks almost never accept U.S. currency
exchange any more. To get Php you need to use an ATM or find a high rate
dollar exchange booth at "the market." That's impressive.

gee. i was in malaysia 2 years ago and korea this year. used the US
dollar everywhere
