Feel so bad for! not

In WWII people actually went and worked to earn their money. These days people just want the handout from the gub'ment for doing nothing. The can-do attitude in WWII is what got our country moving, and is what many are sorely lacking today.

I don't agree with your assertion that people don't want to work. We manufacture very little in this country now and that is, at least, part of this problem. Democracy suffers if you don't have a middle class.

Still, WWII was a massive government spending program.

Mike Davis was on Moyers last week - a very interesting juxtaposition of socialism and the labor movement. This takes about 32 minutes:

That is the main problem if you ask me, we (Big biz) would rather make other countrie's workers (slaves) build stuff for dirt cheap mainly so they don't have to deal with frivolous lawsuits, workers comp., OSHA, etc. just so they can gorge themselves in profits. People have been WalMartized into believing cheaper is better. I have been in several unions before the airline gig, and I was once told that we (Americans) should buy union/American when ever posssible, I still do. I would rather buy something made here in the states knowing that it is putting food on the plates and a roof over the heads of many American families. We have sold out our country to the lowest bidder and our economy will never be restored until we put God (of the Bible) first in our Gov., schools, work place.

God first... in government, school and the workplace?

This guy never really did anything that merited a $750,000 salary. Every time I fly a flight, my captain and I are responsible for more than 150 people. If we make a mistake that's a lot of people who lose their lives. This guy manipulated money of hard-working people and virtually was paid for doing nothing. He was fortunate to be overpaid as long as we was.

Of course not. Guys like him area dime a dozen. If he showed up at my door with a fkn pizza pie, I'd leave him no tip. He's got way too much material crap surrounding him to be truly broke. Perhaps on paper he's a deadbeat, but I can assure you that the money is coming from somehere and it ain't the minimum wage and tips keeping those 36D's happy.
