>>The government "is" controlling wages - or at least is playing a significant role. Business now have to deal with government intervention in the form of new minimum wage directives and ACA regulations. This has a major ripple effect.

But in your "fair assessment" you said

"The feds are taking in an all time high, at a point where wages have not improved...

Is your complaint that the government has not increased wages, or that it hasn't increased them enough?

And why focus on wages when the Republican candidate also is looking at corporate tax. After challenges from liberal media and others, he commented

"This (Washington Post) is owned as a toy by Jeff Bezos, who controls Amazon. Amazon is getting away with murder tax-wise. He’s using the Washington Post for power so that the politicians in Washington don’t tax Amazon like they should be taxed... He’s using the Washington Post ... for political purposes to save Amazon in terms of taxes and in terms of antitrust... He thinks I’ll go after him for antitrust."

Next he'll be having a go at the banksters and will astound the world by becoming the best US President ever. What fun.
