Comments on: The Rich Get Richer, And Everyone Else Is Screwed https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/09/03/the-rich-get-richer-and-everyone-else-is-screwed/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Fri, 07 Sep 2007 17:33:52 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/09/03/the-rich-get-richer-and-everyone-else-is-screwed/comment-page-1/#comment-29248 Fri, 07 Sep 2007 17:33:52 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2007/09/03/the-rich-get-richer-and-everyone-else-is-screwed/#comment-29248 The numbers are facts – productivity rose and paychecks didn’t. This has never happened before, and economists no it. Two-thirds of GDP is dependent on consumer spending, and consumers are broke.

Henry Ford didn’t pay his workers $5/day because he was a nice guy, he paid them $5/day so they could afford to buy his products. That what the CEO class doesn’t get – workers are the consumers. If you don’t pay the workers, they can’t buy your goods.

Is that like communist sympathies?

What? Do they think liberal is some kind of bogeyman?

If so, sounds like productivity, plantation style.

WTP?
