You heard it during the last few presidential elections. You hear it bandied about by the soulless right all the time. You know who I'm talking about, the ones who proclaim that anything the government might do to help anyone except the rich is socialism.
Well it really is true, there are makers and takers. Except, the right has it backwards.
Over the past 50 years, the American worker has steadily increased productivity. They are making more and more with less and less labor. They are the makers.
The takers? The CEO's who demand ever increasing salaries, bonuses that bear no relationship to their performance. And let's not forget the 'investors' who drained the capital out of Sears before firing so many and declaring bankruptcy.
The new election cycle is just gearing up. You can't sit this one out.
