(1,989 posts)This guy (like many others) participated in the continuation and expanding of this gap. He's not a messenger. He participated in one of the reasons why this gap has increased over the years. With me, he doesn't get to stand by and now pontificate on the wealth gap.
Robert was one of the many...convinced that NAFTA would bring us jobs!!! Good paying jobs.
Good democrats were thrown under the bus, by the likes of Reich and others to get NAFTA pushed through.
Robert was wrong. Now, being wrong didn't affect Robert negatively. Robert has become wealthier and wealthier over the years. But, being wrong did affect Americans now suffering without jobs. Those same Americans that Robert can't seem to figure out what they have to be so angry about.
So, yes. I'm perfectly okay with suggesting "hands caught in the cookie bowl" Robert has been part of the problem. He doesn't get to pretend to be an innocent bystander in this mystery. Some of us remember. And, forgetting is dangerous with this crew. He'll be trotting out support for the next American job killing notion before long. Just watch and see. I think these people should apologize for helping decimate the American workforce.
And, until then, I trust very little that proceeds from their mouth.
