First step is a more equitable tax structure.  If you look at the real 
numbers wages overall have gone up but about 12% of wage earners have picked 
almost all the increases.  Middle income wage earners have seen paychecks 
shrink from inflation.  More recent figures show a significant decline as 
the cost of food, fuel, and housing increased.  Housing decreases should 
make the numbers appear better but it will be a false decrease.
