Now
that the Dem Convention is over, we can reflect on what we heard
there. One of the most remarkable things - really startling - that we
heard came from Elizabeth Warren, the Native American who is running for
the Senate in Massachusetts. She was the warm-up act for Bill Clinton
on Wednesday night.
Getting worked up a short way into her speech, Ms. Warren said the most remarkable thing:
"Look around, oil companies guzzle down billions in profits."
The theme of Ms. Warren's speech was that "the system is rigged against them [the middle class]." Apparently, Ms. Warren is unaware that oil companies are among the best - perhaps the best - employers in the country. Oil industry jobs are well-paying, one would even say, high-paying, at all levels, particularly including field work. The fondest hope of any middle-class community is that an oil company will come to town.
