The big difference between now and the 70's is that back then there was room for our wages to go up and match inflation. Dad started at about $1.75 per hour and I think he was around $30 when he retired. Now his kids will start at about $14 per hour and retire with no pension and will get wage DECREASES not INCREASES! We have too much global competition from people who make 50 cents an hour so we are still wayyyyyy over paid. In an age where you can be on the internet in 2 seconds and do business on the other side of the planet american workers don't stand a chance of ever demanding higher wages ever again. Unless they have an oil well in their backyard.
