You are definitely correct. My post was a little snarky and written way too quickly to get any real point across. My real point is that, regardless of whether or not wage stagnation has occurred, the "middle class" is not in a good position. Median household income is $52,000. You can survive on that while raising 2 kids, paying rent or a mortgage, and paying for a car if you are smart about it. But you aren't very well positioned to get ahead and you certainly aren't in a position to have a couple of smartphones, premium cable tv on a big flat screen tv, with the newest computers, etc. like we are taught to aspire to. Yes, there is more tech, better healthcare, etc., but your money goes a lot less far than it did when you could have a single worker earning enough to afford the "same" (relatively) overall quality of life. It's not a perfect comparison by any means, but saying wage stagnation doesn't exist and therefore we shouldn't care about it seems utterly bizarre when you look at what most of the nation has to live on. I just can't wrap my head around how anyone can look at this article and especially that horrible infographic that the WSJ published and think anything except how out of touch and frankly stupid people are about the reality of our collective situation.
