‘The wages for the average American worker are lower today than they were 49 years ago,”
WTF, Bernie? $15+/hr is the norm...you got your wish! Now you are saying things have not improved??? Well, gee no shit.
They pass this crap and we are well and truly screwed for generations. You will never get rid of all the insidious crap in it.
“The wages for the average American worker are lower today than they were 49 years ago,”
I blame a lot of that on the feminist movement. When the feminazis demanded to be included in the workforce instead of being stay-at-home mothers and homemakers, it was a gift to business.
Prior, the wages the providers (husbands and fathers) were paid a wage that could support a family well. When women were brought in to the office, it provided an opportunity for businesses to accomplish the tasks but pay less since two people now were supporting a family.
Now, if a family doesn’t have both parents with jobs they pretty much can’t make ends meet.
(I didn’t come up with this. I’ll always remember Rush saying this back in the ‘90s.)
