American workers' wages stagnant, even in a great economy: why?

[Paraselene]

Ok... so not your business then.  I would say, that if I’m getting paid equally to others (or not much more), I would be working less, with less stress, and less responsibility. Or looking for another job that paid more. This is a big problem with unions. They have had their place, but they have driven companies into the ground as well.

Unions, not a fan and not at all to what I am referring. I would never trust an organization that required money from me in order to protect my interests.

No, I am for a complete eradication of the monetary system. No bartering either. I believe people will work at helping a community survive when all are equally on the same level and all equally are treated the same and all are equally receiving the same minimal comforts for happiness and survival. It is the greed to have something someone else doesn't that separates us and makes people lazy to the point where we realize not working for a corrupt system is better than supporting it for a lifetime of grief and no proper recompense.
