I get another raise, and the rent goes up. One business give me raises, and another business takes them away.
I buy needed expensive American made tools, one week pay for each tool, and wife home with kids. Later on Japanese tools start coming in. Same tools, one DAYS pay instead of one WEEKS pay, but later on, no more over time, can’t get raises, wives have to work.
All because of cheap imports making your pay cheap. Expensive domestic products are good, makes your pay expensive.
Unfortunately, the cat that swallowed the canary got away with it until lately, which is good.
