You know what da answer to dis is, don't you?

2007 Inflation Rate: Up 4.1%
2007 Real Wages Rate: Down 0.9%


Now, you might think: raise salaries for workers and cut them for phokking fat-cat CEOs. Hah, good one! The real answer is: cut taxes for the very weathly. That way, they might invest in new ventures and hire you for that second job you need since you lost 5% of your money last year. Or, they might buy a yacht and help out the yacht makers. And if you're thinking, why not cut taxes on workers 5%? Hah, anudder good one! Uh, where da phokk have you been since Jan. 2001? Probably working 3 jobs and not paying attention. Also, 9/11 changed everything. So, oh yeah, let me speak for Fred Thompson et al. here: go phokk yourselves.

Hmm. I'll borrow and edit, to illustrate a point I think Shakespeare made without making.

Hath a CEO not eyes? Hath a CEO not hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food...

hurt with the same weapons...
subject to the same diseases...

If you prick them, do they not bleed?

If you poison them do they not die?

If we are like them, we will resemble them in that.

If a CEO wrong a worker, what is his humility?

We can poison them? Why haven't we thought of this?
