While the Boomers were being born, the average Joe working a full-time job could support a family. You didn't have to be highly educated, blue-collar jobs could make it work, too. Now, that's not the case. With wages not keeping up with inflation, and costs of certain things outpacing inflation, it has made it very difficult to support a family with jobs that once could. What the causes and solutions are to this problem, that's not something I have any real insights on. I just see that there is a problem, which seems to be a step further than some people care to admit.

Greed.

The rules of the game changed starting in the 1980's.

The haves always had more and had power, but they recognized that a well paid and happy work force meant something.

Then they decided the workers might get some more power too, and workers started wanting more and more, so they started the long process of breaking up the unions and lowering the standards of the workers.

Now we have an ever increasing gap in wages and wage growth and what we hear from the haves is its class warfare to complain about being stepped on.

Really.

The love of money is the root of all evil. And for some giving up a little to make a little more is too much to bear.
