The fruits of globalism.
Democrat party propaganda to prepare us for their planned destruction of the hated middle class.
Don’t you worry, CNN. Equal misery is rapidly approaching.
New Yorkers earn more than North Dakotans...it has to do with the standard of living. Where does it end?

With our plummetting educational system; things ain’t gonna get any better in my lifetime. We are graduating students who score lower than people in India score before they even enter the 9th grade.
Gee, Dems, ....thanks alot
They sold our future down the river; and are working on making the present situation worse, day by day.
Hmm. North Dakotans grow grains. New Yorkers grow welfare recipients. People buy grains. A factor for the math?
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. Soon to be craved above the doors of the IRS.

I wonder how many Americans have voted with their feet?
Cue crickets
Shhh, don’t tell my boss. He’s always apologetic and trying to find ways to squeeze more money out of the HR turnip.
Eritrians pay far too little for housing.
Until the passage of the 16th Amendment (Income tax) in 1909, the Federal government was primarily funded though tariffs. High tariffs in the 1800’s allowed the US to build its great industrial economy.
Manufacturing allows wages sufficient to develop a strong middle class. We need to return to manufacturing the goods we consume inside this country. Globalization has been a disaster for the middle class and the US economy. Real wages have not increased in 10 years. Stock prices have not increase in 10 years. Time to change our tax and regulatory policies to encourage US manufacturing. This includes an end to “free trade” policies that benefit our competitors. Reimpose the tariffs and quotas in place before 1988.
Americans are overpaid
... is a bit simplistic and it seems is meant to be controversial.
The problem is that the world is awash in unskilled labor, there is an essentially unlimited supply of labor where the cost near zero. People in 3rd world countries are still willing to work for $2 / day or less. The US labor market, with our relatively high cost, has a very difficult time competing with this. Hence outsourcing.
Our skilled labor however is very productive and is paid fairly IMHO.
If we want more high paying jobs, we need to focus on reducing the cost of doing business in the US, and this means overhead costs like litigation, regulation, taxes, medical etc. The biggest driver of this cost is an out of control government, primarily Federal, but at all levels.
If a healthy dose of free market ideas with a sane immigration policy is implemented our economy will take off. These ideas, where government loses control, will take years and many elections to implement. This entrenched power of the government statists will not give up with out a fight. It may take blood to make it happen.

Right now, I’d just settle for getting paid. Over, under, makes no difference to me.
