Speaking of class concerns is now "the middle" according to Tweety
A friend of mine called Webb a "lunchpail socialist" and he meant it as a compliment.

5. Speaking of class concerns has always come from the middle
Acting on class concerns will remain the exclusive domain of the left.

7. Yeah - he said the Democrats chose "discretion"
and picked a moderate to give the rebuttal.

What a maroon.

9. I wish Webb sounded like the middle...
...he sounded like a socialist to me.

The part of his speech on Iraq was excellent. The part about economics was disgusting.

I don't care if CEOS make 400x the average worker. The standard of living for working and middle class Americans has increased greatly over the years. We worry too much about relative incomes and not enough about absolutes.

11. And adjusted buying power.
Inflation is out there, everything costs more but they don't put it in the CPI.

that's how they hide things.

12. Are you for real? The CEO's come in, layoff staff left and
right, replace them with temps., they walk away with millions in bonuses and the company rotting if not failed. That is how they earn those big bonuses, because they only care about the $, not whether the company is around 2yrs. after they are gone.

The biggest scams where the Arthur Andersen, Price Waterhouse temporary sourcing scams, Enron anyone?

13. Guess you're ok with CEO's and Boards giving workers the shaft?
Edited on Tue Jan-23-07 10:52 PM by Heaven and Earth
It's immoral to make profits off of disrupting the lives of workers through outsourcing. That kind of pain should be profitable to noone.

If that makes me a socialist, then we need more socialists.
