Brat has been blathering lately about "making the ave. mean $60/hour"
Where does this $60 come from - as compared to $40 or how about $100
or $1,000? If wages can be magically set by gov't fiat, why not make
everyone a millionaire - or billionaire or, what the heck,
trillionaire - overnight?
When Brat asks why free marketers aren't advocating to make this the
average wage, the answer is really simple: because we understand
economics and he and his leftard buddies don't and never have (as
notice the dismal failure of socialism and the enormous success of
capitalism).
Incidentally, if the price of labor can be arbitrarily set, why not
the price of anything? Effective tomorrow you can get a house in
Malibu for $10 with a new Mercedes in the driveway for a mere extra
$2.
Brat declareth and it is so.
In case you haven't noticed, Brat has this little problem with
delusions of grandeur.

capitalism isn't the success; it's human nature that's the success.
Some babies just can't be trained to share.

There's one question every rightard instinctively knows he needs to
dodge:
"Is the subject rightard making the average mean income of $60/hr?"
If the rightard ain't making the average mean income of $60/hour then
he is either dumber / lazier than average by _his own rightard
economic theory_ or the rightard is gittin' ripped off.
Either way, everyone can always agree with any rightard explanation as
to why he's making less than $60/hr.
And if the rightard is smart enough to make over ave. mean income are,
not too surprisingly, he will be too smart to admit it or discuss it
here.
The rightard will either want to fool others or he'll want to fool
himself. Therefore rightard boilerplate rarely touches on the issue
of ave. mean income and even more rarely will any rightard provide an
honest response on the matter.
So, instead of answering the question rightards busy themselves with
strawmen and various other dodges. When they break down and call you
"a pinko commie" instead of answering the question that is their
signal of defeat.

You know the answer: inflation and international market value of the dollar.

It's more like magical thinking, something humans usually outgrow by age 10.

If $60/hour is the mean for the 'rightard', then what are the minimum and
maximum? You see, that's the metric. Or do you mean the Mode of the data?
And exactly where do these people live that make $60/hr just to get by?

Average mean income of whom/of what? What do you mean by "making"?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Watch Brat dodge the question.
