I have also heard somewhere that the number of Billionaires in this country has gone from 13 in 2000 to over 300 now. I haven't confirmed that tho.

Well let's see: By the time I was in junior high school I had figured out that without a college education and a solid degree, not some artsy fartsy thing, or a highly skilled trade, there was no way that I would ever be able to make a decent living, have a nice house, raise a family, send them to college, etc. This was back in the late 50's, early 60's. Apparently some people STILL haven't figured it out. If you're working in a burger joint or Wal Mart, you're not gonna make it. Should those jobs pay more? No, they're not worth any more. We can live without burger joints, Wal Mart can automate checkout (if it's customers are smart enough to figure out how to use the systems). We no longer have a place in society for those who are not gifted and talented (well maybe except for politicians and lawyers.) So if you've got an IQ of 95, do the world a favor and don't breed. Or run for office, worked for Bush.
