[QUOTE="farmerbyron, post: 2743617, member: 4953"] The graph I posted was adjusted for inflation as well. I'm not going to argue that things are much more expensive then they used to be but people are paid more than they used to be as well. So is the golden era of the 1950s not good enough anymore? I thought they had a higher standard of living than we do now. Even the lower class now have a higher standard of living than the middle class of yesteryear. Flat screen TVs, cable, smart phones, a/c is damn near a right, etc. But if we are just going to ***** about how much we are or are not being paid then check out the commodity markets. Right now grains are at the same dollar level as the mid 1990s. Not adjusted for inflation numbers mind you but actually the same dollar amount. Never mind the fact that land, equipment, fertilizer is all at least double what it was 20 years ago. [/QUOTE]
