Wages as a percentage of GDP:

Corporate profits:

Obviously corporate profits dropped when the recession first hit, yet now they're skyrocketting to record highs... why? Because they've figured out how to exploit the labor surplus. Cut "associate*" costs.

The new friendly term for "employee". McDonalds is a family, donchya know.

And with almost unlimited government subsidies to keep the workers fed, who should fight to get paid high wages? I mean it just sounds petty greed when the poor say the need to be paid more so they can buy a new car, or TV, or rims, or movies, or etc. As long as the government keeps the poor fat and happy, they won't have a really strong motivator to get a better education, demand their wages go up, or fight to show their bosses that they deserve a raise. Thank goodness for Democrats keeping people down through welfare and food stamps eh?
