| Pennsylvania Wages, a General Statement |
George: America – its citizens, economy, businesses and industries – thrive when people have enough money left at the end of the month to be able to buy goods. Instead, America has faced years of declining household income, rising poverty rates, and shredded health and retirement benefits. Billionaire investor Warren Buffet said, “If class warfare is being waged in America, my class is clearly winning.”
America needs a wake-up call before it reaches the collective soup line. Tax cuts are geared to the richest 1 percent while efforts to raise the minimum wage go begging. Americans are dumbstruck by $3-a-gallon gas prices while subsidizing mind-boggling profits for the oil elite. Responsible health and retirement benefits are derided as out of line, as if an affordable and adequate safety net is the problem rather than the solution.
A true rising tide lifts all the boats, not just the yachts.

| Pennsylvania Wage Gap between Rich and Poor |
George: As noted above, Billionaire investor Warren Buffet said, “If class warfare is being waged in America, my class is clearly winning.”
Family incomes have fallen during the Bush administration.
This assault on American opportunity is a poorly disguised charade to try to persuade the gullible that the way to feed the birds is to give the cattle more feed.
