6. Hey Scottie - sure more Americans are working . . . if you just talk
Edited on Mon Sep-19-05 07:40 PM by ET Awful
about the actual number that hold jobs instead of the percentage of those who are eligible for employment because in order to state that more are working than ever before, you must also acknowledge that there are more Americans than ever before. That statement is as dishonest as saying Bush received more votes than any President in history (even if there was no cheating which we all know isn't the case), Kerry received the 2nd most votes, so the statement without it's qualifiers is misleading.

If 37 million are living in poverty and more people are working than ever before, that tells anyone with 1/2 a brain that those who are working are working for less.

Smack him some more Helen.
