Discuss.
A larger piece of the pie. Said pie is now being recut with labor getting a smaller portion.

For more insight you might begin with Global Capitalism: Its Fall and Rise in the Twentieth Century.

I want your answers. If I had wanted a book reference, I'd have asked for one. I'm interested to learn whether you're even capable of a reasoned discussion of anything. Based on what we see of you here, you appear unable to string more than two sentences together I one post and not always in a coherently.

You're a riot and therapeutic to boot.

BTW, my pie analogy is an accurate response to your numerous questions.

Yeah, John's like that. He's got no problems dishing out insults whenever he sees fit. Then he'll turn around and castigate others for dishing it out. He also has been known to correct others' posts for spelling and grammar. Maybe he needs to read some of his own posts more closely.

Go figure.
