29. this is the core problem

the issue is wages

we have too much downward pressure on wages, such as tolerance of illegal immigration, the collapse of the influence of the unions, too many people chasing too few good jobs

people aren't willing to support strong medicine to support wages, such as a hike in minimum wage, strong penalties for hiring illegal immigrants, stronger border enforcement, strong penalties for outsourcing, an end to prison work for pennies on the dollar, and so on
