It should be fairly simple to post some data that show real wages falling. Go ahead.

It's just not fair. Houses are getting bigger and nicer, cars are getting safer and have more accessories, there are more and more varied types of clothing and food available - it's terrible.

Yet they cost more!

A 2500 sq ft three bedroom with central heating and insulating windows should cost the same as a 1600 sq ft two bedroom with radiators and wood-framed glass!

A Toyota Civic with a 6-disc changer, power steering, antilock brakes, dual air and RKE should cost the same as an '81 Datsun!

Prosciutto should cost the same as bologna!
