Obama also claimed the “link between higher productivity and people’s wages and salaries” was severed during the past three decades, with workers no longer enjoying the fruits of their labors.

That is an odd claim for Obama to make, since the left, exemplified by unions, tries to completely divorce productivity from wages. According to leftists, the person who produces five widgets an hour should be paid exactly the same as the person who produces ten an hour. The teacher who fails to teach kids elementary addition and subtraction should be paid exactly the same as the teacher who prepares elementary students to take on algebra. To the left, employers exist to pay employees, period.

One thing we are all missing is that big government is big business. Since w spent the last thirty years lowering taxes on the rich we have seen a lowered will to reduce waste and save money in public expenditures. The elites are not opposed to big government but, just making sure that they don't pay for it. I wonder who is going to pay for it if they aren't? Also, why shouldn't all of the money that they made from cheap south of the border labor go to taxes?

Don’t trust their ‘elites’ or ‘our elites’... they’re all riding the corrupt gravy train.
