I'm fishing for intelligence. I think the water's polluted.

That's two ad-hom posts, two "love it or leave it!'''s and one "them foreigners all want to come here." Still no discussion of the stats, whether they're reasonable, correct, or would have a net negative or positive overall on society and/or productivity. (Consider that list a list of suggestions.)

You conveniently left out your own ad hominem posts and thus your hypocrisy.

The only way you would think it's insulting is if you feel you are an inadequate trader.

But anyway, that's two ad-hom posts, two "love it or leave it!'''s and one "them foreigners all want to come here" and one "You're a hypocrite!"

I'm not surprised a liar like you would deny the obvious intent of your post. But beyond that, you're beyond childish... you're infantile.

BTW davie... why don't you move to France or somewhere else where more people embrace entitlement and socialism than we do in the U.S.? Serious question.

That says it all to me. What else is there to discuss?

"Since 1979, hourly earnings for 80 percent of American workers (those in private-sector, nonsupervisory jobs) have risen by just 1 percent, after inflation... For male workers, the average wage has actually slid by 5 percent since 1979. Worker productivity, meanwhile, has climbed 60 percent."

"From 1979 to 2005, a period when national output more than doubled, after-tax incomes inched up just 6 percent for the bottom fifth of American households after accounting for inflation, while it rose 21 percent for the middle fifth. For the top fifth, income jumped 80 percent and for the top 1 percent it more than tripled..."
