(1,540 posts)Being well along Into my retirement years and extremely grateful of a protected pension, I am furious that the college graduate engineers, teachers , firemen, Family Practitioners, all highly trained and educated American citizens, are having to work 3-4 jobs to simply exist.and this is even if they can get these burger flipping slots. While there are the babbling blowhards such as Hannity, O'reilly, Limbaugh, and the ever increasing flock of blond bimbos, callings themselves journalists, who wouldn't know a fact or the truth if it bit them in the ass. Thet sit and spout the latest Corporate script not caring who they hurt or the harm they do to our Country? It isn't only the Corporate Heads that are receiving multi-million dollar salaries, but also these bloviating talking heads. I'll O'Reilly at $38.million, a failed high school history teacher , who doesn't let facts get into the way of money. While skilled journalists are ignored or work for so little and the millions of truly skilled workers have lost well paying jobs due to outsourcing for profit. Please question why corporations are unwilling to pay for teachers, firefighters, engineers, yet they pay millions to the talking heads who produce nothing for the advancement of our society.
