Our inflation and cost-of-living increases mean that if you're not increasing your salary by ~4% per annum, you're taking a pay cut. Once again, I'm not earning enough that I can afford to give up my salary but I do what I can when I can.
Quote:I don't mean to be rude, but you're coming off like a great, steaming pile of hypocrisy.Why? I work towards closing (ultimately eliminating) the gap between earning-levels because the evidence shows that's likely to be a more workable model of capitalism than the current one. My ability to act freely on that information is not an indicator of its veracity.
