remove government workers, and private sector workers making over $200K from the stats and then talk to me. why? because government workers have built in wage increases in their contracts, and in the private sector, when IBM offshores a few thousand people making $60-70K, the executives all get nice bonuses for doing so.

unless you remove those two groups from the figures, the wage numbers don't mean anything with regards to what is happening to the private sector middle class.

Let me see if I've got this straight;

According to you, if we subtract Govt workers and those groups of workers you think get paid too much from the equation, we can alter the stats that show wages are steadily increasing for American workers and support your claim that everybody is really suffering.

The contortions in logic some people are willing to go through to maintain their depressed outlook.....
