Soup Kitchens
Your article “Working Poor Line Up at Soup Kitchen” (Dec. 27) clears the smoke screen the politicians and corporate America have cast. To be sure, unemployment is at an all-time low, but what about the wages? High-paying manufacturing jobs have been sent overseas, leaving low-paying service industry jobs. While corporate America continues to reap billions in profits, workers have been downsized, restructured and taken out of the pie of wealth.
Like other Third World nations, we too will have the honor of a two-tier economy, one of the mega-rich and the rest of us.
