Ah, another one of those guys who think that academic paper is a substitute for common sense. Undoubtedly you have never met Joe the plumber and are dismayed that he makes as much or more than you.
And where on earth have you drawn that conclusion from? We were discussing the existence of Fed. If you think that this issue can be addressed by common sense, I feel sorry for you.
"Undoubtedly you have never met Joe the plumber and are dismayed that he makes as much or more than you."
You are putting now the second foot into your mouth, and only because you choose to talk about something you have no idea about. And you cannot imagine how silly you look: I had worked in construction, on farms, and at a factory.
Looks to me that you have an anti-education bias: mere mention of a degree irritates you. Sad.
