I know it sounds dumb. Because rich want to stay rich and keep poor people poor... BUT just in the past 60 years living expenses have increased by anywhere from 100% to 600% and minimum wage has increased a whopping 2 to 3 dollars, nationally.

In order to live similarly to that standard "American Dream" set in the 50s/60s, people would need to be making about 90k/yr from an average income job.
