Really? Starting when?

I mean, when you factor in increased fuel costs, healthcare costs, cost of buying stuff, my taxes have increased, I'm not really making all that much more money than I was 5 years ago.

I mean, even if you're making 30%+ more than you were 5 years ago, fuel has increased 100%, my weekly healthcare deduction has increased 60%, deductible is 100% more, etc...

Raising min wage isn't really going to help this problem. If anything, its going to make it worse. Bad economy + plethora of available workers + baby boomers that wont retire = stagnant wages.
