> American workers have been conned into creating the very wealthiest people in the world by continuing to give up more and more earning power This pendulum seems to swing back and forth. The phrase "conned into" implies that American workers had some kind of choice and were lied to or otherwise induced to making the wrong choice. That may be true, or there may have been systemic changes, not under the control of American workers, or there may have been choices made by other groups in American society (older workers, politicians, etc.), that led to the current state.
