You need to understand that wages do not go up here, only the cost of living. I made $15/hr. in the 90s while union workers made $30/hr.

I made 15/hr. in 2008 on a military base...that was the prevailing wage there.

Most people are workers, and if you don't give a fuck about most people, vote Republican.
