I think you need to give thorough thought to what you are stating above. TOO MUCH offer of labour force means that potential workers will be willing to work for even less than what Wal-Mart is paying nowadays (which is less than what one needs to survive). Companies try to avoid to engage in price competition among themselves, but when the competition is among workers looking for a job, employers celebrate.

way to twist a comment there about why the price of cigarettes have gone up. i don't really understand your point unless you just want to argue with someone over an 8 month old comment.

stepping out your front door is a risk, but just to entertain you a little. what about the millions of people who have or had lung cancer, emphysema asthma heart disease etc.., NEVER SMOKED A CIGARETTE and ride the medicare/medicaid train yet didn't contribute to the "smokers illness fund tax" on cigarettes. again another not very well thought out comment. same with the people who never worked a day in their life became crack addicts and are now on social security disability pensions.

yeah ok Armageddon seeker one world government yeah why not thats what hitler, stalin, mao wanted, to get rid of the checks and balances and put one nutcase in charge. yeah real smart, then where will people go to run from tyranny which is of course mans most natural state, that is to be tyrants. People really aren't thinking that are posting here. How about we solve the problem by getting rid of the problem which is GOVERNMENT. Tyrants and thieves ruling over law abiding citizens = poverty.

how about you be the first volunteer for your population reduction and control plan, either don't have any kids or jump off a bridge. Seriously do you even realize that the 50,000,000 abortions have caused alot of this. The 50,000,000 missing workers to support social security and purchase houses etc... you are ill educated. There are not enough healthy vibrant youth to support the aging which is a huge strain on the middle class, health care housing etc.. your an idiot repeating a false mantra

Professor Warren sums up her lecture by saying; "I fear we're moving from a 3 Class Society to a 2 Class Society. America has always been one of those "perfect" Distributions, I.E. the Bell Curve, with some poor people, some rich, and a Big, Big, Solid Middle Class, stuck right there in the Middle." Well said. Well NO MORE! In Amerika Now You're either Rich or You're Poor, and if you don't like it... There's The Door! That's sure not the country I once loved, the good old U.S.of A.

over population and population control are key elements to solving the problems of green house gases, using and destroying the earths resources and the social problems arising such as rich class, poor class. Please note. In my last post on here regarding population control, someone posted back that the earth can sustain many more ppl than it already has. This is not the issue. The issue is solving our crises now, before it becomes worse. Overpopulating will obviously make all of our #s worse
