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.

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?

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.


The operative word is "managed," doofus.


OK. You managed to heap a bunch of self praise upon yourself. Is that
better?

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.
