42. How strange is that?
Mon Mar 30, 2015, 06:53 PM
Mar 2015

The entirety of my working life, from 1980 on, workers have been putting in more hours, working more efficiently and productively, and private sector revenues have gone steadily up, thanks to the Wealth that Labor has been creating. Strange, though, that worker pay has remained practically stagnant adjusted for inflation during that entire time.

Where has all that Wealth gone if not into the pockets of the workers who created it by the strain of their muscles and the sweat of their brows? By the way, how much money did Carly Fiorina "earn" when she left Hewlett-Packard at the behest of its board? What did she do to earn that tidy little sum, except release the death grip of her greedy little mitts from the controls of the corporation?
