Sounds like you would be happier in Cuba or North Korea, were everything is shared equally.

LOL, if I am a paid poster, I'm doing a lousy job. I have ~300 posts in two and half years on the forum.

On the other hand, you have been here half that time and have posted more than 12K. That makes me seriously question your motivation... are you paid to post here?

Hmmm... A business owner posting in a political forum in the middle of the day on a Thursday? That is suspicious... What are you doing to earn YOUR salary, and are you one of the execs who is paid 380x as much as your average worker?

Is that how it works? I'm asking an honest question here, I'd really like to know.

This "retirement" as you call it is working 60 hours a week at two different jobs, while trying to maintain some sort of family life. Before you ask: I happen to have today off.

You do realize that at many jobs they have a little thing known as a lunch break....... it usually comes, uhhhh.... around lunch...... in the middle of the day

Since many Dems don't work and sit on welfare, I expect this little fact would be lost on them.....

Naw,,,,, the only thing shared almost equally by the peasant class is suffering. The Elite don't suffer in those places...... But i think EC might be happier there as you say....

I like it that Romney is to blame... We are 75 days from th election and 5 months from the january office take over if it happens, but yet still Romney is to blame LOL

I to blame my grandsons grandson for the debt..... and my grandson is just 3...

Not bad for guy in his early 20's that has not yet learned more advanced skills. Once they do learn the more technical aspects of the work we perform, they make $20-30 an hour so I am amused at your disdain for something you obviously know nothing about.

There is money to be made for those willing to actually work hard for it, but generally, Americans have become spoiled and expect society to hand them a posh office job making six figures because they partied through college for 4-5 years earning a useless degree.

The answer to our problems is not in legislation and politicians, but can be found in attitude and mindset. Right back at you.
And how much does that 15 bucks an hour produce for you? What about HC? Lots of back problems for a lifetime ditch digger I suspect. How many employees have made it to say 40 in your company and the ones who didn't who pays for them now that they have broken bodies?

Sounds like you think CEOs making that much more than producers is healthy?

Yeah while the gubmint supplements his no benefits workers HC and disability checks after they ruin their backs.
