Wall St Analyst claims "American Worker's Wages Too High"

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

If only they could pay Americans the same wages as Indian or Chinese workers, they wouldn't have to outsource the jobs. You made them do it, you selfish, selfish bastards

No.

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.

Just pass a law that the maximum wage paid to an owner or officer of a company cannot be above 50x the lowest paid worker in the company. Anything above that is taxed at 100%.

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.

If the workers can't buy, the economy will die.

because that is what he seems morally fit for.

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