Comfortably Moderate
We hear that a lot from the left. Labor uses it as a bargaining tool and party hacks use it as a populist chant and what I said is it doesn't matter because a drop in wages ignores benefits and other income which we now know is up....clearly shows a drop in wages....
We hear that a lot from the left too and although the numbers are there to prove the wage complaint they're gone when benefits are panned. It still doesn't matter because there's a lot of income people enjoy besides wages and benefits, and total after tax real income per person is three times what it was in 1960....benefits have been dropping. Gone are the days of profit sharing, great medical benefits and employer matching participation in 401Ks...
It's more than good, it's amazing.
"We hear that a lot from the left" I just proved my point using the CPI, Real Dollars and government statistics and I'm not a lefty, I'm Main Street America!
