Your racial theory of wages is comedy. Wages are a function of supply and demand and some complicated other things like free govt money and benefit cliffs. Low wages are offered and able people accept them if they can't get free money from the government. When wages get too high businessmen pay democrats and establishment republicans to bring in more workers. Whether they be high tech workers or physical laborers. And if we don't bring them in legally... we also bring in illegals to work. My friend's older brother was paid 22 bucks an hour as carpenter/framer in the early 80s. He was good... That is more than construction workers make today and we have had 300 to 500 percent inflation. -- We have had massive inflation and a decrease in wages... Bad govt polices are driving many of our problems. I find it disgusting that democrats are acting like they are the solution. They have done nothing to help black people since the 60s. I am not saying establishment republicans are much better.... But as long as you are bringing in people to take low wage jobs... and creating benefits cliffs, you are systematically screwing a class of people you are claiming to care about.
