It used to be Unions protected workers and kept wages reasonable. Now they've been gutted, our manufacturing base is gone, and people laugh when we talk about paying people a decent wage.

What. You think putting windshield wipers on a Chrysler was harder than cooking burgers at McDonalds?

The issue is that "reasonable" is subjective when it comes to wages. Our country has become overrun with cheapskates who always think people are overpaid no matter how little we pay them......

Well, except themselves of course.
