OK, how's this?

Trolling, trolling.

We established individual income taxes at least 20 posts ago. You didn't catch that some how? Maybe you should read the WHOLE thread before posting additional nonsense. The question is what part of individual income taxes is driving the 9% increase if wages are only slightly up, unemployment didn't go down, and wage tax collections are lower. But you knew that when you posted additional nonsense. More trolling to come Watch this space.

Pulling levers and pushing buttons and shoveling coal into a furnace aren't that skilled, but factory workers used to make enough to have a modest home, two cars, mom at home, TV, Junior's sports equipment and Marianne's Piano Lessons with a two week vacay at the Gulf/Lake.

What happened is that a return to mass immigration and lack of immigration enforcement flooded the labor pool.

Also consider the entry of women en mass into the labor force. The economy adjusted somewhat to a two-income household.

Need help understanding the question? Apparently so. I used small words and typed very slowly so I don't know where to go from here to make it more comprehensible. .
