Shark Attack! | Philip A. Farruggio



Philip A. Farruggio -- World News Trust

Remember the film Jaws? Remember how the whole town was affected by the presence of the predatory Great White?

Well, all we working stiffs out there in America are just as terrorized by the multitude of sharks that run this country. We have the corporate sharks and their political "Two Party, One Party" shark allies who run our government.

Either way, if you work for someone else or have a small Mom & Pop business… you are meat for these economic predators!

As a reminder of how much worse things have become, in 1965 the ratio of CEO to worker pay was 20-1. In 2000 it was as high as 382-1. Isn’t it time for some righteous anger by our labor force? Isn’t it time for our politicians to be held accountable for doing absolutely nothing to correct this obscenity?
