Thirty years ago, I made more money than I do now, well, since I was laid off two years ago. That’s how stagnant wages are. Even when I had a new manager, who gave me a raise, I was still making less money than when I was younger.
We can start by thanking the Rethglican’t Congress during Clinton, Bush I, Bush II. Hopefully, Obama will do something to make jobs reappear. I haven’t been middle class in so freakin long, if I could only make $12/hr I would be fuckin thrilled.
