[QUOTE="hoser, post: 158593, member: 6357"] because they're grossly framed and biased. like the comparison between corporate profits today and five years ago. well, there was a recession 5 years ago. the war on the middle class is inevitable, considering how bloated it is. there is way too much unskilled labour in the economy making ridiculously high wages, there's no way you can expect to sustain this [I]and[/I] be able to compete globablly. the stat that median income hasn't risen taking into account inflation is self-defeating, it [I]shouldn't[/I] rise, or else inflation will, too. then the point that is made that UPS keeps racking up profit while not giving raises is just irresponsible journalism. if you ask the general public their opinions of how much ups drivers should earn, it's going to be way off, but not as much as when you ask people how much they think UPS drivers actually earn. of course, being that this article has a leftist bias, saying that ups drivers make $28/hr would just weaken the journalists argument in favor of unions.
