REPUBLICANS HATE THE WORKING CLASS. They can't stand middle class or below. Ever wonder why Republicans want to crush unions? It's for the working man and woman to much. But wages are rising, FOR THE RICH!!

How many workers in the US are actually still in a union? I know for damn sure I make more money not being in a union. Unions are corrupt and have outlived their usefulness. I am making more money today than I was 2, 3, or 4 years ago.

Your wife is employed by the Republican Party??
Who are "they" that are adjusting the payscale?
Hmmmm, how about this Japan must have a Republican Party too???
Japanese wages still have not reversed their decadelong slide even with the country's economic expansion now in its 56th month. While businesses plan to increase their capital expenditures at the fastest pace in 16 years, higher costs for raw-materials and fuel make them reluctant to raise pay.

You can't draw anything from a 1 person example. My wife was laid off during the dot.com boom during Clinton when unemployment was very low. My wages have virtually doubled from a year ago. Individual stories differ wildly, but it's the trend that we can count.
EVERY income group has experienced wage gains, even after the dollars are adjusted for inflation.
See the census data link below for the proof.

A Republican may have TOLD you that! They're good like that, they can look you in the eye, tell you all the good they're doing for you and at the same time steal your wallet because they're not in a high enough tax bracket yet to fully take advantage of all the tax breaks they've voted into the budget!!

Unions served their purpose when they were created as workers used to be treated unfairly.
Today unions are little more than useless negotiators.
My wages have risen, due to my hard work and blaming no one for my lay off four years ago.
