A working class person of today would have been pretty well off a century ago, but again, this means little. Wages and salaries for the majority are not keeping pace with increased cost of living. But anyway, he will just deny it, so this discussion is pointless. Peace.
This is incoherent. Either *real* wages are increasing, or they are not. The data show they are increasing. A worker today, even accounting for any conceivable version of cost-of-living increase, but *not* accounting for the benefit of new goods and services, is vastly richer than they were a century ago.
If that means little to you, you're welcome to your opinion. But the income data speak for themselves.

Must be quite the life in that little Herbert Spencer bubble where that little figment of your imagination called reality ceases to exist. I have to say though, your comments make for great comedy, we had quite the laugh at some of your assertions in my History class today.
Seriously?
That's just sad.
