      <![CDATA[In U.S. America, middle class employees are both the engines of skilled labor and the source of consumer demand. At least, that's how it used to be before the conservatives had their way with the country.

      <![CDATA[Let me begin by saying that I am not a big fan of any of the people mentioned in the article. However, John, please get real and report on something worthwhile instead of just stirring up stuff.<br>
<br>
Memphis Tomorrow does not pay the salaries of these people, and according to the article: "Together they generate over $50 billion in annual revenues and employ more than 80,000 local people."<br>
<br>
If we're going to compare them to regular employees, how much does a regular employees generate and how many jobs does a regular employee create?
