Wondering if anyone else has been hearing this too coming out of the mouths of Wall St's Over Paid theives
Was listening to CNBC yesterday at the opening bell, and they had a guest Economic Expert discussing a possible economic recovery and the latest jobs numbers, and out pops from their mouth "American Worker's Wages are too High" with a wink and a nod as if it is some sort of systemic problem that needs fixing

I'd link to my journal entry that proves wages in real dollars haven't risen since 1979 (#86 in the archive), but this idiot place won't allow me.

(41,694 posts)Ever notice how any "Economic Expert" is always making way more than the average wage level?
"Expert" always translates as visiting S.O.B. from out of town.

Yes righty... morals. Know what they are, or do you need to read dogma to figure it out?
