Yes, the terrible FOX News has some very good business/investing shows on Saturday morning. Yesterday they had a couple of people on arguing the point that the middle class was seeing no rise in wages, and hadn't for many years now, but prices on staples had risen year over year. Corporate America seems in collusion on wages. FedEx certainly isn't the only one. The point was made that the corporations had the money to buy Congressmen. Don't know if other companies have gone to the extent FedEx has to create legislation in their favor, but apparently corporate America's first goal isn't to provide goods or services people want or need, and thus profit. It's to wring out as much profit as possible to enrich stockholders. And the middle class is shrinking because of it.
