ever hear of inflation?
What was the inflation rate in the 2000"s?
Are you saying they never gave you a dime?
you keep making the typical right wing mistake
i argue from EVIDENCE
you argue from FAIRY TALES
I am asking you for evidence, what was your income on your 2000 tax
return and what was it in 2009?
it's irrelevant. i'm not the entire middle class. sorry. like i said,
i argue from EVIDENCE
you argue from ANECDOTE.
if this country were the reader's digest, you'd have an argument...
that's why you can't understand what i'm saying.
NO ONE...repeat NO ONE in the middle class got a raise
See EVERYONE I know had some kind of raise and I know lots of people
who did quite well.
wrong.

so show me where your 100,000,000 friends are on that chart, OK?
I know my son in law has doubled his salary since then but he moved
and changed jobs.
like i said, i argue from evidence. you? you argue from anecdote
An anecdote is evidence of at least that person and I have now given
you two I know very well.
wow. 2 people
that just leaves 99,999,998 other people you have to explain
That means your "NOBODY" is BULL****.
let's see...i have evidence from ninety nine MILLION people
you? you have a fairy tale from
two people
and on that you conclude that the other tens of millions got a raise
typical right wing bull****
You are quoting some statistic based on averages that does not take
into account the number of people who retired ..
meaningless
.. for just one thing.
I agree the average, weighted by all of those union auto workers who
lost their job when we moved the factory to Mexico and all the high
paid techie people like me who were simply put out of work by the
technology, drags down the average but that doesn't mean the people
who could still stay in good jobs are not getting raises.
there are no unions in the US.
so let's see. you have cited 2 retired people
and i cited proof from 100,000,000 people over 37 years
and to you they're irrelevant
