Let's look at the avg. moron making $25k a year over his 45-50 yr. career.....
Of course that's just gross....
$25 k/year? I don’t know about your state but in California the minimum wage is $16640/year. I assume those are the morons you’re referring to? You’re also not taking into account job loss, which is more than likely in this economy and will only get worse with outsourcing and illegal immigration.
For those who have non-minimum wage jobs the prospect isn’t much better. Once you adjust for inflation, wages have declined in relation to prices for decades. Unless you’re born into the elitist class odds are you’ll be living in poverty or fear living in poverty.
The American Dream is dead and both parties killed it.
