How Do You Save For Retirement When Employers Keep Driving Wages Down?

[TheMastersNemesis]

Most jobs now pay so little a worker cannot afford to support self and family the wages are so low. And now many jobs have no benefits and are temporary. The idea of saving for retirement is really a joke. Even Obama's plan to save for retirement still means you have to have extra money to save.

There will no retirement in the future and workers will be even less better off than workers were before 1900. Reaganomics is a lie because NOTHING was meant to trickle down. The new economy for workers is like walking across quicksand.

The need for a car in rural areas keeps folks in the poor house. Even with a paid off car you're still looking at thousands of dollars a year in maintenance, petrol, insurance, and taxes.
