"Does it not occur to you that you made my point for me? When you increase the price of labor you don't "move" enough units."

Moron. You totally missed the point. Labor has been under-compensated since Reagan. That's why the top 1% of earners get 20% of the total compensation. It's been compared to Gilded Age. An economy based on consumption will suffer, which is why we BORROW like fools.
