I never said they deserve CEO wages I just made the point that I respect any man or woman who goes out there to work for a living instead of freeloading. I'd have thought you might have felt the same but apparently not, is it cold up there on your pedestal? Not everyone is smart or talented enough to be a hot shot at their job, some people have to make do with the level of talent nature gave them.lowing wrote:

We don't mind having these people around to clean up our shit and process our tinned foods and whatnot so why be so harsh on them when they suffer at the hands of the economic climate... at least they made an effort to work and contribute when there was work available.san4 wrote:
I think it is part of the truth. Some people who get laid off have only themselves to blame.
But usually there is more to it than that. I think Republicans should not say this to voters because it is an incomplete explanation for a much more complex economic problem.
No Braddock, do not get me wrong I do agree with you. I simply do not see any reason why one should be paid more than the job is actually worth. If the person wants more outta life, then DO more with your life.Braddock wrote:

If a job is easy and anyone can do it then the money shouldn't be great, that's basic common sense. I agree with unions getting acceptable working conditions and whatnot but I don't agree with unions that become de facto 'rackets'.lowing wrote:
