Summary # 9 T. Burns

In the essay "The Truth About Wages" by Bruce Bartlett, he explains how in today's economy people are making less than what they were years ago. He gives many statistics showing how everything has fallen and what has risen is people not having jobs or people taking pay cuts to keep their jobs. "Workers have been so beaten down by layoffs and givebacks in recent years that they are grateful enough just to have jobs, even if their pay stinks", he writes. This shows to be true, especially those with health insurance because many have none. In today's World times are tough but it seems they are getting tougher for poor who are getting poorer as opposed to the rich that are getting richer.
