I found something extremely interesting.

While CEO raises doubled...

the average American income fell for the last two years.

How the hell does that happen? Are CEOs really that important? Please explain the reasoning behind it.

 

[Azih]

CEO's get to set their own pay.

Look closer

The report said the sharpest drops were in both the number and the earnings of people with the highest incomes. Those with incomes of $10 million or more saw average income fall 22 percent, while the number of returns reporting incomes at that level fell 53 percent during the two year period.

Meanwhile the average income of those filing returns with incomes between $25,000 and $500,000 saw the average income little changed, somewhere between a 0.1 percent decline and a 0.2 percent gain, depending upon the income category, the Times said.

Unemployment is down. The Working Poor is growing. Where'd the Middle Class go?

That's the problem. The middle class is slowly being eliminated, and you're either rich or poor. You either TRULY make yourself or you just struggle, like everyone else, for something more than what a full time manager makes at McDonald's

 

[MrAngryFace]

lets just blame minorities.

 

[Drinky Crow]

If you were SMART you'd INHERIT WEALTH like all of the entrepreneurial supermen that decide your future!

Estate-based dynasties aren't an aristocracy -- really!

 

[Diablos]

Fux yuo, I wish I was good enough to work for M$ and make millions

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Screw that, this is starting to feel like a gap from the late 1800s, BLAME THE IRISH!

 

[MrAngryFace]

fucking drunks.

Does anyone else get a kick out of the fact that Bush and co. classified flipping burgers and putting them on a bun as a "manufacturing job"? ahahahaha...

it is manufacturing, manufacturing the death of a poor slob by gunking up his heart with fat.

 

[Drinky Crow]

If every new "manufacturing job" unionized, maybe McDonald's could become a path to organized crime!

DON'T FUCK WITH THE BURGER KING, HE'LL BURY YOU AND YOUR WENDY'S MADE MEN

Non-rich people need to take a prozac.

 

[Drinky Crow]

It's not like they can't afford prescription drugs, er, right?

 

[fart]

they'll be able to once what's left of the medicaid money is earmarked for the drug companies.

 

[Drinky Crow]

See, it all works out! The rich get all the capital, education, and the power to pass to their descendants, and you get some cheap happy drugs!

COCKY, FUNNY.

 

[fart]

guys, let's privatize our privates. i call dibs on oli's girlfriend's crotch

 

[Drinky Crow]

That's a pretty safe investment, since it's obviously in mint condition. Is oli even aware that Janie Hester Prynne Anna Marie *has* a crotch? You could probably get it at a steal.

 

[fart]

well i'll tell you what oli don't got no right to it and that girl know she ain't never gonna need it with him so i bet you i can pick it up with bring some of that saudi oil money in and charm it off her like she don't even know i'm just taking it for nothing and no one.
