MORE ON AMERICA'S MIDDLE CLASS ---

Julian Blue had an excellent comment on the above mentioned post and referred to stats in one of her posts. Julian Blue is a reader, commenter, and a blogger, a member of our blog roll. (If you don't see the blog roll on your screen, scroll down to the bottom of the blog. That's where I find it but some people find it up near the top where it's supposed to be).

I suggest checking out the statistics on worker income vs. CEO income on her blog:

to the January 5 post, "Corporate Dogs". This fully illustrates how the rich are getting richer and the working class (middle) is falling behind.

"The workman is worthy of his hire". I have no objection to people making a great income if they are worthy of it. But by the same token, the working stiff who helps create the source of the profits should also be worthy of his hire and earn a decent wage.....and NOT have his job farmed out to another country where the workmen are paid even less.

Isn't the "trickle down" concept Bush's professed point in giving all those tax cuts to the megacorporations and the rich? That as they make more money, they can hire more people, pay better wages, etc., so the workers thereby profit also?

Well, read Julian Blues post. Draw your own conclusions.
