And it's all the fault of the Evil Corporations, and the GOP. I guess we all need someone to blame.

because it is the gop's fault, the middle class is still reeling from what Reagan started. there is PLENTY of money in a large corporation to pay its help better, it all just goes to the stock price and the executives. theres a reason the pay of the average executive to worker is up from 60:1 in the 60's to 300:1 now.
I think it's time to get rid of wage stagnation, one way is raising the minimum wage and pegging it to inflation. the problem is, we'd need to do more, to help the people who, by the grace of god still make more than minimum wage, but aren't going to be helped by this.
