Well, I don’t like using the WS-MS terminology, but Main Street will always depend on Wall Street and vice versa because they are basically a two-lane highway.
I guess people in other countries understand that one cannot function without the other.
The problem is there has been a shift in the equity pie in recent years in the USA.
Corporations would share more of the pie with those that helped them get profitable in first place, the workers. I base this conclusion solely on my career in high tech from 1980 through 2004 (when I got tired of getting laidoff.)
What’s funny is the Democrats are up for re-election as well and seemed to go out on a (political) limb none the less.
Not to get entirely off topic but I caught some of Bill O’Reilly and was not too pleased the way he tried to pin this solely on the Democrats. O’Reilly is all about money, he hates the fact that Obama might raise his taxes. Then he went on about the division, FNC is the king of dividing the country and cash in on it at every turn. I had to change the channel. The worst is Sean Insanity. This guy is just plain bad for the countrty.
There are two or three people on tv I trust to be fair and balanced, Wolf Blitzer and Charles Krauthammer, maybe Ben Stein to some extent.
In any event the Polosi speech was an old one, I’v heard those lines before, so have the House Republicans. They really could have come up with something other than she pissed off a dozen conseratives. She should have said nothing, but the punishment clearly out weighed the crime.
