[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 782786, member: 12508"] FedEx is a perfect example of a company that is driving it's employees out of the middle class. This is how the elite of this country stay that way...by keeping us poor. Libertarians and Free Market gurus love to say "anyone can succeed if they just try hard enough". That isn't true. If we were all millionaires, who would do the actual work required to generate profit? Someone has to, and they must be paid as little as possible in order for the rich to grow richer. Fred received today's equivalent of a $24M inheritance. Think that's a head start, and that he has to play by the same rules as you and I do? No...he doesn't. It always amazes me that most of the people who advocate for Libertarianism and a Free Market system are the ones who end-up paying the price for it. And the market is anything but "free" when our political and legal systems are so easily manipulated and controlled by the elite. Google the name Ravi Batra, an economist from SMU who predicted the 2008 crash and has many more interesting things to say, especially about the fallacy of the Free Market in this country. It's Fred, and the rest of the power elite that are hollowing-out the middle class in this country so they can grow ever richer. Eventually, the average consumer won't have the means to participate in the Free Market anyway, so all of those rich folks had better start buying the things we used to be able to buy with discretionary income. Interesting that you mention magazines and other print media, many of which are dying, partly because of the Internet, but mainly because people are cutting-back to essentials. My Car and Driver subscription is down to less than a dollar an issue, as are many other magazines struggling to survive. Eventually, enough people will understand enough to create change. [/QUOTE]
