Oh so you have taken a raise? What kind of greedy person would do that. You should share it with everyone else.

No I don't know what you're talking about. You cry about ditch diggers and when I provide you with the salary info about em you then start screaming about greed. Then when I ask if you've ever taken a raise you say it's none of my business and scream about how you see others suffer because that's how demcrats are? Basically you are making no sense.

But what are you DOING about it? Or are you like typical Dems that want to use someone else's money to solve the problem?

At least you admit that Democrats cause much suffering with their mostly backward hateful policies

Policy needs to favor the producer not the overseer=CEO. Mitt is for the CEO and could careless about the actual producers. Thats the choice that needs to be made.

Do you get extra money for responses to your posts? Your comment was nonsense the first time I read it too? Are you happy I responded now? At least I cost the Obama campaign another nickel he doesn't have. lol

How is posting info about salaries for those poor ditch diggers a lie? Take it up with the website not me.

I own a company that digs trenches for french drain systems with hand operated shovels. The employees all make over $15/hr equating to more than $30k a year, with a few hitting over $40k. This falls within the range for heavy equipment operators, and opens a pathway towards the higher end of that spectrum provided they have the drive to achieve it. 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.
