The Chamber is just another group that doesn't care about Americans, just the wealthy and business intersts above all else. I think that is why they are viewed less favorably today. They sold out, like the GOP, a long time ago. Morality and doing what's right is not as simple as a corporation making as much money as they can. Greed is, after all, frowned upon in the bible......

Household income should be increasing as the number of people from a household that are working is increasing. Household size is decreasing, i.e. people aren’t having as many kids.

Individual income is a better source and it has been held down by the employer contributions to health care- a deferred wage of sorts. Almost all of the wage increases during the Bush years was eaten up as health care benefits. The Chamber is doing well in DC but the Banks have clearly lost any luster.

Because no matter what you think about the bank bailouts -- that is still the tip of the iceberg and these corporate folks are apparently Platinum Level constituents. Great post!

Great post!
