Wow you dont know how things work, do you? LOL Every job has a cap. Employers arent going to pay people the same every year just for the simple fact that over time, they know to hire a new person, they're going to have to pay them more than their current employee they hired x years ago. They know if they dont give their employees raises, they'll leave for companies that ARE paying their employees more. I'm not going to go into a basic economy lesson with you. If you think employees should be paid the same as they were 20 years ago, you're just stupid.
