Because to a leftist, a teenager who would rather be playing video games, an engineer with a 4 year degree and a natural drive to make things work, and a CEO with a demonstrated ability to lead a company of tens of thousands to prosperity and profitability ... they are all worth the same, to the leftist. As people, yes. To the business community they are worlds apart.
Just read this AM some company in Michigan bought Elan Corp in Ireland...now they can move their operations to Ireland where the Corp tax is 12.5%. Good bye USA, Hello Emerald Isle...(we need St Patrick here to chase out the snakes in government).
As far as family income staying flat since 79, well Oboingo, my income from 79 to now has gone up more than 500% not counting for inflation which means it probably has gone up about 200% in constant dollars. Why is that? Well, I changed jobs a few times and each time found one with more responsibility in another state, I gained experience in each position, did well, and completed some additional education to my bachelors degree. I was never arrested, don’t do drugs, am married to a woman, my hair is closely cropped, I have no tatoos, paid off all my debts, did not go bankrupt and received no government assistance. BTW, Oboingo, I started out at minimum wage which was $1 an hour while I attended school.
I hear ya. I started at less than $5 an hour. I have changed jobs several times, gotten a college education, etc. My 5 buck an hour job was fun, no stress, but I wouldn’t make a career out of it.
