The Corperations OWN the Government.

I just saw on the news, walmart pays about $11,000 
a year to workers.
While the CEO of walmart
 Make $12,000 an HOUR..
This is a disgrace.
The Government subsidizes, 
them while workers have to 
get FOOD STAMPS.
Walmart doesn't pay the 
Taxes they should. 
They own the congress
 of the USA.

The President of the United States
 makes $400.000 a year
along with 450. thousand expense
 account. $100.000 non taxable 
travel account.
$19,000 Entertainment. Congress
and Bill Clinton did this last raise in 2001.
Like playing the shell game. 












I can't lift these bags. Yet I see women doing it in the stores.















These are the ladders I have seen women lifting 
huge boxes over their heads. For $8 hr they must
drag themselves home. The next time you go into a
store watch the women lift and drag while the men watch.
Where is the Justice? No Insurance,
use them up and toss them out.
Must be owned by Nazi's.



















Yep, must be a manager watching a woman do the heavy work.
 ( It's the good ole Boy's club )















The Home Depot Salaries.
 $9.56/hr. $8. $14 (0nly men)
Home Depot CEO Frank Blake has an annual base salary of 
$975,000  
Why is this happening?  What can be done??

AreTeens out of touch with reality ?


This 15 year old kid
comes to my house to rake
leaves and ask's for $15 hour.
I said, " what planet did you
come from. I worked all my
life and $9.00 an hour
was top pay as a floral designer.
My husband had a degree and earned
$50 an hour for legal advise.
 This kid has popcorn between
his ears and a headset, and I am
trying to talk over a motorscooter
running and his dumb headset.


So yesterday on Moneyville, Madhavi wrote an interesting article called, 
Teens think they’ll earn $90,000 a year by age 30.”According to the National Report Card on Youth Financial Literacy (.pdf), high school graduates seem to be extremely disconnected from reality. Especially when you consider the results from a survey of over 3,000 recent Canadian high school graduates:The average survey respondent expects to earn $90,735 in 10 years; roughly three times the average income of 25 to 29 year‐olds with post‐secondary degrees ($31,648).
  • The median survey respondent expects to earn $70,000 in 10 years.  However, the median income for a 25 to 29 year‐old with at least a high school diploma is $26,000.  Even among Canadians between the ages of 25 and 29 who have a post‐secondary degree, the median income is only $29,000.
  • Now check out some comments from Madhavi’s Moneyville article:
  • “These kids are in for a very
  •  rude awakening.”
  • “Sure, if minimum wage is raised
  • to $45 an hour!”
  • “Realistic? I think not. Since when
  •  have teens been known to be realistic 
  • about their expectations, in general?”
  • “I’m not surprised. They have a sense
  • of entitlement and the problem is,
  • they now get coddled in University as well.”
  • “For that kind of money you either need 
  • to be a stock broker, sling crack rock, 
  • or have a wicked jump shot. 
  • Welcome to reality kids!”
  • “This is a generation that has been sold a bill of goods:
  •  Get a University education and you shall write your own ticket.
  •  Most have never been denied a single thing, gotten everything
  •  they’ve asked for and so much more. Fifteen year olds with $200
  • sneakers and $75/monthly cell phone plans. Inflated grades for
  • mediocre performances. It’s no wonder their expectations are so unrealistic.”
What have we created???
Well I agree, although a yard man just told me he
gets $45 an hour. I am wondering how a Senior citizen can survive.
