    Or, to put it another way, in 1960 minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the cost of the average home was $11,000.00. A burger flipper could get hired on high school graduation day and be a homeowner in 20 years without ever getting a raise.

    Are you saying that all the technological and medical progress of the last 60 years was a direct result of the decrease of real wages?
