That\u2019s what it really means to say someone is \u201crich\u201d \u2013 he has more time because he can control not only his own, but yours, too.<\/p>\n<p>The guy who had $1,000 worth of stocks in 1971 could buy approximately 250 of the average working man\u2019s hours. Today, that $1,000 worth of stocks is worth about $28,000\u2026 which, at today\u2019s $26-per-hour average, will buy 1,077 hours of the typical working man\u2019s time \u2013 four times as much as in 1971.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, compared to the wage earner, the capitalist is four times as rich.<\/p>\n<p>Invert it, and you see about the same thing. A working man would have had to labor for 212 hours to buy the 30 Dow stocks in 1971. Today, his time is much less valuable; he has to sweat for 1,000 hours to buy the Dow.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why the liberals whine about \u201cinequality\u201d\u2026 and probably why Donald J. Trump was elected. Few people may have done the math, but a lot of people suspected a rat.<\/p>\n<p>And they were right.<\/p>\n<p>Many \u2013 including the president \u2013 pointed their fingers\u2026 but at the wrong rat!<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Executive Order 6102 Doomed America BUENOS AIRES \u2013 Today, we woke up in Buenos Aires with a disagreeable headache\u2026 and a depressing hypothesis: First, it doesn\u2019t matter whether Brett Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court or not; one more Deep State toad won\u2019t make any difference.
