151. I know it. My great uncle was a janitor for a public school and made enough:

- to buy a charming lil house in a cute neighborhood

- put two sons through college

- my great aunt stayed at home to raise the kids

- drive a relatively new car (not brand new - but a safe, clean, & reliable car)

- save for his retirement

- take occassional vacations

My father worked as a paper mill supervisor and he made enough to do the same and save a LOT of money for retirement plus buy boats and new cars....

Workers were included in the system of rewards. Not anymore. Workers are nothing but a means to end to the profiteering corporations - shareholders and CEO's trump the people who actually create the wealth.

Disgusting.
