Hah, you could take your own advice about focusing on the positive, Corbin!
Anyway, I didn't think we were talking about you..or myself for that matter. I am involved in a small venture that has done quite well over the last several years. A bit of a slowdown so far in 2010, but signs are looking up. This income disparity is about the elitist, filthy rich corporations - (and I do mean filthy!)...you know, if any of the big guys decided for some reason to run either me or you out of our respective businesses, they could do so very easily. They could outsource what we do or sell to cheap foreign labor markets and offer management positions at a payscale that would be a pittance to what we are earning now. But of course the CEO and select honchos would rake in the biggest gains. And we could only shake our heads and say: "Geez, I shouldn't have let that happen"..lol, as if we could have prevented it. But that seems to be what you're saying to those who work hard and still struggle against circumstances they have no control over.

Getting real......
certainly isn't applicable to the analogy you attempted to make.  Look towards the light....be positive instead of focusing on misery, gloom, and dispair.....I took $9000 in my 401k and built a small business,  I refused to believe I wouldn't succeed....18 years later, I'm not rich, but I'm still happy, living a comfortable life.

Based on your premises that makes me evil incarnate....that's a bunch of BS.  That's what's wrong with Xeno and the rest of the progressive peddlers of victimization.....JMHO....take it or leave it, it doesn't matter to me.

Of course the sky is the limit when you can buy your own government..
and when you have no morals and/or you don't put any value on people's lives. No envy here for that kind of empty existence, thanks anyway.
C.D., what you're saying is akin to telling someone well, if you hadn't allowed yourself to be mugged, robbed, assaulted or your house/bank to be broken into and wiped out, then you would be just fine and dandy!  Get real, will ya??

If you people.....
would put at much energy in succeeding at something that would enhance your economic status as you do expressing your envy of those who do.....who know what you might accomplish...the sky's the limit.  Well, it will be when we erase all of this leftist fixes installed in the past 14 months.......

I would say unbelievable but for the majority who live the reality

of never enough money, no matter how long or hard the work performed, it's all too believable.. And this not about hating anyone, it's about desperately needing a more level playing field and having to fight through greed and ignorance for it. Jeff Sharlet's book - "The Family" describes working conditions in this country pre union, pre labor laws era. Workers were brutalized; worked to the point of death in some cases and if they survived, quite often were denied their paltry pay. Seems to me, with the robber barons aka corporations regaining their stranglehold on government in recent years that we are headed for those kind of dark days once again.

I find RMS's comment ironic - he surely isn't one to lecture about hate. As a matter of fact, I'm surprised he hasn't gotten into trouble with Shaycom over his hate speech ramblings, which are also violent sounding.

Re: You Are Gullible!
are you saying that the figures in the link are wrong?  They have been repeated many times over the past decade or so.

You Are Gullible!

By looking at what I make, which is the only income in this family due to my wife havgin to be at home for  our handicapped daughter, I am just slighty over the median for 2008 which I am damn sure that I am under in 2010. What you do not understand is that you have been lied to and you eat this crap up like it is gravy and biscuits!

For 12 years now I have supported my family fine. Now it is another story and why? The prices of everything from food to gas has gone through the roof. I mean everything has gone up and this is the problem. The current adminstration has not done one damn thing to change this. Now, when next year comes, there will be skyrocketing taxes to pay for healthcare. Your leader has said that anyone under 250k will not have higher taxes. In North Carolina, our lovely piece of crap liberal governor has already raised taxes on everything from food to gas so she is a lying bitch!. GET THIS STRAIGHT! IF MY TAXES RISE BY ONE DAMN PENNY NEXT YEAR THEN YOU AS WELL AS YOUR LEADER HUSSEIN WILL BE MINE! GOT IT? SO THINK ABOUT GULLIBLE IDIOT!

You keep hating the rich but yet you don't understand that the rich liberal is lying to you. How freaking stupid! That's what the Tea party is about fool! What the hell are you?
