Obama admits 95% of income gains gone to top 1% - Sep. 15, 2013

WTF?

Between 2009 and 2012, CEOs, politicians, etc get pay raises while low/middle-income workers don't. Sad! They are very greedy!

California poised to raise minimum wage to $10 - Sep. 12, 2013

Advocates say increasing wage rates stimulates the economy since low income workers are more likely to spend the extra cash. Meanwhile, business groups argue that wage increases can lead to job losses.

Bullshit! They said that because they don't want to lose big profits like Walmart, McDonald's, etc.

Yes, that's very sad.

They took too much advantage of our political system.

You also have to consider shareholders. They push those at the top to milk the companies profits at any cost, EVEN at the expense of keeping wages to the lowest extent of the law to maximize profits.

Stop on by in a large Chinese city or Philippines, Malaysia, many others, and you will see where the 1% are investing their plunder. I counted nearly 100 tower cranes working in the Manila area alone.
It is not just that they rigged the US system they rigged it so the money leaves our system and does not come back. It is criminal treason.
