Which is it? If he didn't offer any solutions, then he didn't offer the "communistic approach" crap, right? Government taking control of private businesses ... those are your words. Are you a communist?

But check the sentence right after the part you bolded. He said "Wages and salaries for our workers are at all-time lows as a percentage of national wealth, even though the productivity of American workers is the highest in the world." In our economy today, a worker's productivity continues to increase while at the same time his wages, compared to those "in charge", are dropping.

It's a fundamental principle - one that is repeated often on USPO - that hard work is the way to get ahead. Well, people are working hard, with greater productivity than ever before, but the American Dream is getting harder to realize.

Another point he made on the economy was that the stock market isn't the best or only sign of a healthy economy, nor are the huge wages & bonuses given to CEOs. He also said:


The middle class is being squeezed out of existence through government policies aimed at rewarding the rich at the expense of everyone else.
Hmmmm, not long ago the Dems were saying what a great job Clinton did...Well, I haven't seen CEO's salaries go higher than that time period when compared to the average worker.
