Yes, and I have repeatedly tried to explain, that isnt due to increasing wages but falling wages. Wages in this country have been stagnant for over 4 decades. The once burgeoning middle class has been decimated, due to corporations offshoring jobs to foreign labor markets in order to increase their own stock values. That chicken has now come home to roost and we are locked into a vicious cycle of falling wages = falling customer base= falling tax revenues= increased national and state debts and around and around we go.
Less income = less customers = less income= less customers= less income= less customers, etc.

As I commented on Robin's Facebook post about this: One must remember, just because you have the freedom of speech to say something, doesnt mean you should.
I eat, therefore I am.
