I'm getting really tired of people complaining about how management holds down wages to get higher bonuses, etc. If you think you are worth more than you are getting paid, prove it - go find another company that agrees and is willing to pay you what you think you are worth. Otherwise, you are just complaining and using "capitalism" as the reason for your perceived substandard pay. Don't feed me a line of BS about how there is nothing else around either (geographic constraints). I've heard all of the excuses, and it comes down to this - if you want change bad enough, you will get off your ass and make it happen. You don't need some politician "looking out for you".

I believe there is a fallacy in your thinking as well. Many statistics related to economics prove your arguements to be false. Wages continue to DROP while productivity and net earnings continue to RISE. There is a huge descrepenacy that you cannot find an explanation for.
