Economic Policy Institute: Wage Stagnation in Nine Charts
When we have every Republican from the strident strumpets on Fox News to Hillary Clinton screaming about the economic horror of a fifteen-dollar minimum wage, the chart makes it clear there's no basis for it in their advanced understanding of economics. There's only the penurious savagery which started even before Reagan and the modern economic wizards are only copying it.
It's not likely there are many other charts which so succinctly prove the murder of the Middle Class by Republicans and their clones such as Bill and Hillary Clinton, Obama, etc.
In concert with that, we have the way that mercenary cadre has lauded the sainthood of the CEOs who did it and the proof of this cadre's complicity with that which was done to the workers is that none of them lifted a finger to fix the problem and instead made it worse.
Just to make it perfect, Americans work harder than anywhere else in the world. (NY Post: Americans work harder than any other country’s citizens: study)
Regarding Labor Day:
Start up the grill. Get the burgers and chicken going. And start imbibing. You deserve it, according to a new work study.
“We’re hard workers. We deserve the day off,” says Liz Bagot, a spokeswoman for NationalToday.com, which conducted the survey of 2,000 Americans.
It turns out the average American works harder than our Japanese counterparts or the average European worker.
“Statistics show that Americans work longer hours than the majority of other countries — 137 hours per year more than Japanese, 260 per year more than in the UK,” according to the study.

Work more and get paid less; it's the new American way.
If you have a MAGA shirt, burn it for the sake of humanity.
