If you looked at the article you would know that the CEO of Walmart makes more than two hundred million a year. While you are right about good times, we must have been working in different countries because the American work force is still below the size it was in 1999.
The the CEO of Walmart makes 200,000,000 and there are 1,500,000 Walmart employees. Lets give all that to the employees. Each one gets 133.33. Dunno what your point is.
Why are you saying the American work force is below 1999? 110 million in the workforce in 1999. Since then it's never dropped below 111 million.
Interesting conclusion. The rich pee on us and if we are smart we tell our republican bosses that we like golden showers.
So just EXACTLY how are the rich peeing on YOU! How have they prevented YOU from achieving your economic goals! Have they prevented you from obtaining a good skill set? Have they prevented you from finding a good job? Have they prevented you from starting a business? Perhaps it is time people took some personal responsibility for their station in life!
As an employee you are like a piece of furniture. You get paid to be used and your pay depends on how useful you are. I never expected or wanted to be rich, I just wanted to be comfortable and I am. I remember one year about a decade before I retired the CEO awarded himself a $60 million bonus, and kept our annual raise package down to 2-1/2%. That's the way it is.
A better description is as an employee, you're like a Kleenex tissue - once they're done using you, you're discarded.
Bigger question. Why are people so damn hung up on the fact that the Federal government can and should control their lives. Its pathetic and sad, you have significantly more control over your own success or failure than the government does.
What does that have to do with whether or not supply side economics work or not?

The poor bastard in Venezuela is barely making it no matter what system they have. It’s Latin America for crying out loud.
What? Venezuela had some burgeoning middle class before socialism sprung up?

LMAO...that’s LITERALLY fantastic.
I don't have to read it.
I wrote it.
And I meant exactly what it says
After losing a good job in the Obama recession, I had to step back into my backup career because there's a lot more jobs there than in my current field.
But I'm finally getting back into a more technically orientation position that pays approximately $20k more per year and starts with 3 times the vacation time that I currently have, among other benefits.
Don't be jelly..... opportunity is back.
Go take advantage of it.
