That's just crazy talk! If the last 40+ years have shown us anything, it's that worker productivity steadily increases while employee pay stagnates, just as the good lord intended. So, where does all the increased revenue generated by Labor go? Don't you worry your pretty little head about that. I've gotta run now. There's a Senator groveling in my office for a campaign contribution, and I want to be sure he knows that capital gains taxes are too damn high.
