[QUOTE="Ken-1122, post: 74631265, member: 277047"] I don’t think Corporates are the only ones greedy here, I think families are as well. Today every family needs 2-3 cars each with full insurance, multiple cell phones each with monthly payments, multiple TV’s with 200 channels, computers, along with computer games and all of these things costs money on a monthly basis. 50 years ago the average family had 1 car, less clothes, a much smaller house, 1 TV, lucky to have 1 phone for the entire house, and once you bought these things you didn’t have to make monthly payments (except for the phone). It’s no wonder they used to be able to live off one income back then; compared to today they didn’t have anything. And jobs were different back then; the government did not have their hands in your pocket to the extent they do now. Back then it would be unheard of to expect to take 6 weeks off from work with full pay because your wife had a baby. Social Security was for retirement only; today it pays to disabilities as well. With so much extra costs going out of your paycheck, its no wonder a family has to work 2 jobs just to keep their heads above water. [/QUOTE]
