Why inflation hurts more than it did 30 years ago
Boy is this funny....but goes to show that the average American knows nothing(more ignorant now then decades ago).
Companies have shareholders to answer to and must maintain a profit level each and every year. That profit level is suppose to increase between 10-20% to satisfy shareholder's return on investment.
The average worker(middle and lower class) who work a job, get on average of 1-3% raise each year.
So, getting ahead isn't possible.
