American workers' wages stagnant, even in a great economy: why?
#73
RE: American workers' wages stagnant, even in a great economy: why?
We do love the horatio alger myth here in the states.  A significant amount of people imagine that the rich are former street urchins who boostrapped themself up and out the ghetto through pluck and daring raining money and jobs down on all the little people they left behind.

In reality, they're trust fund babies in a network of people who look out for each others financial interests even as those little people around them are completely ruined.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
