[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1095081, member: 43436"] I am not cherry picking statements, and I fully agree with your assertions. But I'd easily [U]bet my life [/U]that the public isn't going to sympathize with us. Over my lifetime, we've seen the heart of middle class ranks within this country nearly disintegrate; full-time retail employees who've been with their company long-term barely make $20,000 annually - often without benefits (sometimes not offered, sometimes too expensive). Even the average regional airline pilot, which operate more than half the commercial flights in this country under brands such as American Eagle, Delta Connection, earn about $25,000 annually, despite years of training often costing $100,000 or more. Meanwhile, the professional jobs that once formed the foundation of the upper middle-class now constitute the new middle class. Nobody is going to feel bad for UPS employees earning $32/hour, or flinching at FedEx's tax-cheating tactics We've come to accept mediocrity in this country. [/QUOTE]
