Trump said his massive tax cut would increase workers wages by $4,000 per family.

Official gov't data was just released and it shows real wages have DECREASED 0.4% over the last year

One of the most screwed up things about the economy is that we talk about the stock market every single day but barely ever talk about wages

Rising GDP is good because it is supposed to spur wage increases

If that's not happening, something is seriously broken
It comes down to corporate power. Even in a tight job market, workers have little power. Corporations not sharing the increased wealth.
