I hate to break this to you, but the guy with the "McJob at Wal-Mart" today enjoys a standard of living that would be the envy of that unionized factory worker 30 years ago.
You are kidding....aren't you?
Check out Post #239 for some clarification. And then realize that the unionized factory worker from 30 years ago had a standard of living that would put him below the poverty line today.
