> You don't see your paycheck getting bigger, but your total compensation (if you get employer sponsored health insurance) has risen. This is wrong. While the majority of people haven't been seeing an increase in wages, the upper-middle class has[1]. Workers don't see things like "total compensation" when it all goes to insurance premiums. If the lower classes continue to experience a declining quality of life while the upper classes live opulently, there will come a time of destabilization. Don't you understand this? Shouldn't we try to avoid that? [1] http://money.cnn.com/2016/06/21/news/economy/upper-middle-class/index.html http://money.cnn.com/2016/06/21/news/economy/upper-middle-cl...
