Spence, you also accidentally stumbled onto the truth when you talked about the loss of manufacturing jobs, and how some (like those on Wall Street, those in tech or healtrhcare) weathered that storm OK.
Here are some things about this issue that you left out, either on purpose becxause it makes you look stupid, or by accident because you are ignorant on the issue.
(1) Mist successful people didn't "cause" the economic globalization that led to the loss of manufacturing jobs, but liberals keep pounding the class warfare drum.
(2) if anything, it's obvious that unions exacerbated the loss of manufacturing base. Why? Because in non-unionized places like China, you don't have semi-skilled union folks getting insane benefits and pay. Those union practices can only increase costs, and that made us uncompetitive in the global marketplace. Spence, you try and make that wrong.
(3) if the manufacturing base is gone, I don't see how attacking the successful helps anyone. What we should do is tell kids to make the same decisions as successful people, not to hate the successful people. My niece could have majored in communications, and gone to work at the mall after college for minumum wage. Instead, she got her degree in nursing and can write her own ticket. She didn't hurt anybody, she sure as hell didn't take anything away from anybody.
Instead of painting her as the evil boogeyman (which is what Obama does), we should be telling college kids to BE LIKE HER. If you want to make $75,000 in your first year out of college, then you need to (1) pick a major in demand, and (2) get good grades. If you choose to major in communications at a 3rd rate school, don't bitch to me when your life becomes a struggle. Despite what your liberal ilk claim, the American dream is readily accessible to those who want to earn it.
