Tom,
There are forums where the politicization of topics is appropriate. This 
isn't one of them. If you want to proselytize to your captive audience 
on Facebook, go for it, but as for doing it here? I say don't.

Hm...again eh? Seems like everything is going up except wages for the American worker. Seems they stopped 
going up about inauguration 1980 & that gap just started getting bigger & bigger. I hope I live 
long enough to see Americans "just say no" about this absurd situation. I guess I haven't got 
there yet since we just bought a new 2016 Honda for the wife a few weeks ago but I'm getting there. I 
think I got there with ham radio awhile ago. Someone remarked about college tuition, new cars & the 
grocery store and instructed us to quit whining. Hilarious advice really. Yes America, just take it and 
keep on taking it. We plan to make more cuts & lower your wages even more, certainly not raise them 
and the CEO's...They only make 300 times or more what the worker bee does...they need a raise and a 
tax cut! So buck up! Quit whining! Buy it or don't! We don't care!

I say don't.
