2. Myopia on display
Barone fails to mention that the good economy is helping a few top corporate executives, but the so-called benefits are not trickling down to the rest of the workers. Americans may indeed have some air conditioners and microwave ovens. However, the price for those small appliances have been exorbitant health care costs and a loss of most pension plans. This is hardly a fair trade-off and the American worker knows this.

Barone can't understand why the average worker isn't happy that the corporate elite make 400 times what the average worker makes and has less security in a job than ever. Talk about being an elitist, out-of-touch cold bastard.
