INFLATION ADJUSTED wages have not risen in 30 years

are you naturally stupid or do you practice?


Why should someone get a raise above inflation?

ladies and gentlemen...there's a name for this question. it's called
'backpedaling'.

he shrieked that the middle class was doing fine. great! perfect! we
were all getting these huge merit based wage increases.

NOW that i've shoved the truth up his...ahem...nose...he's reduced to
pleading that the middle class doesnt deserve squat.

the reason we deserve increases is the following

1. productivity has increased about 30% in the last 10 years alone.
sharing NONE of this with america's middle class is GREED. pure and
simple.

we've seen WALL STREET greed. and now we see CORPORATE
greed...balanced on the backs of america's middle class

2. and this is a critical point...

THE MIDDLE CLASS IS THE BACKBONE OF THE ECONOMY.

yes, that's right folks. the right wing, as he admitted...wants to
destroy the middle class by denying them any wage increases at all

BUT when you do this, you wind up with a middle class that has NO
spending power. consumer spending accounts for about 70% of GDP

you right wingers want ALL the money to go to the rich without
realizing that, when you do this, you destroy 70% of the GDP

THEN you're shocked...SHOCKED when we go into a depression because the
middle class can't spend.

THIS is why you guys are clueless. you work like ants to do EVERYTHING
to destroy middle class wage earners THEN cant understand when
consumers stop spending!!


Did they improve the bottom
line? Those that get raises get merit raises. I got those when I worked,
but I also help produce increases in income. Just because you were there
a
year, you do not deserve a raise above inflation, maybe not a raise at
all.
If you are doing the same amount of work and producing the same amount of
widgets per year, and the cost of widgets went down, you should get a
decrease in pay. Raises are not an entitlement!

you keep bleating on with your bizarre cult questions as if what I am
doing affects 100,000,000 other americans.

face it rush-boy. the middle class is being wrecked by exactly the
policies you advocate.

and it blows your fuses to see that the middle class cant spend, and
cant drive the economy because we have no money

it's quite straightforward to anyone but the far right


I have not backpedaled. Seems as you are the one who does that with
increasing frequency. My question to you is still why should a person doing
the same job get a raise just because a year has passed? Has productivity
increased, or the revenue per part? Most of industry has been shrinking
production. Cars a prime example. They may go up in price 30% but they are
not making 30% more.
