Corporate profits' share of the national income is at a 60-year high—and that has come directly out of wages and salaries, which are at a record low.

This means capital is becoming more scarce, while labor is at least relativele becoming less scarce. So what's the proper response from the average person?

In 2005, for the first time since the Great Depression, Americans borrowed more than they earned.

Given the trend described above, borrowing is the worst thing someone can do. If it continues, their work is only going ro become less valuable, while their debt is going to become more expensive. The smart thing to do would be to save and invest as much as possible--and I guarantee pretty much anyone could save if it were made a priority.

I've never made more money in my life! I work for myself, and charge $150/hr.

Then again, I am not a union stooge. I just started my own business.

If you can't make it in America, you are a loser.

I work a whole lot and I had an industrious father and paternal grandfather.

And I am just like them so I can utilize the advantages they provided for me and i hope I can keep that going for my children too.

I am very lucky and have the utmost respect for self made from scratch folks.

I am not one.

This has been the best year financially and spiritually in my life.
