   your 'economics' is as bereft as your fake politics   
      
   wages('income') rose during the black death...there was just   
      more to go around...   
      
   wages adjust to supply and demand...not your magic money   
       trees or unions or pseudo-marxist blitherings   
      
   no producer can sell to those who haven't the ability to buy...   
      
   you live in 5 yo's playground of fantasy 'economics'...not the   
       real world   
      
   go get yourself another certificate and fool yourself into believing   
       that will make you intelligent or educated
