Bob, there is surely no basis to your 'logic' here. The average could still end up as $19 even if no-one in Detroit came close to earning that. You really don't seem to know what 'average' means.

Average wage per hour in 1965 was around the $6 mark.

Average weekly earnings of nonsupervisory workers, total private industry:

1965 $290
1970 297
1973 315
1975 292
1976 297
1977 299
1978 301
1979 291
1980 274
1981 271
1982 267
1983 272
1984 274
1985 271
1986 271
1987 269
1988 266
1989 263
1990 259
1991 255
1992 255

Indeed. Hence the talk of rising inequality being an issue that should concern us all.

I'll try again ... If it is such a concern to all of us, what do you propose to do about it?

Come to that, I don't see how someone could not find it concerning, no matter whether we may disagrees on what to do about it.

I don't see any concern at all. If someone wants the big dollars too, they should go and get them, not expect someone to deliver them on a silver platter with a Hallmark card saying "here you go mate".

There seem to be a lot of Communists in this world lately :crazy:

Utter rubbish. Are you seriously suggesting that those of us who are concerned about such things are Communists? I find that a most offensive accusation, as well as a baseless exaggeration.

Did I say your name? No! I'm refering to the protesters worldwide who bitch about everything, protesting, disrupting others lives and get nothing done etc etc, d!ckhead. There, now you can be justifiably offended.
