Loading ...My friend John was constantly complaining about the cops making too much money. In my county $200,000 and higher is common. So, I told him. You want them to come down? Thats middle class pay today. They are getting what they need. He finally agreed, everybody should make more money like the cops.
$200,000 today divided by 20 is $10,000, the old middle class pay before 1975. The old $2500 new car (with a 3 year loan) times 20 is $50,000 today. But the lower salaries require a 6 year loan, or a leased car. The old .15 cent slice of pizza? Times 20 in $3 a slice today. The old $2.hr min wages times 20 should be $40/hr today
