Thank taxes, unions, and lawyers.

If taxes were sane you'd have a lot more disposable income. In fact, many
families could afford to go back to one income, and kids would have a
parent waiting for them at home.

If unions didn't live on political extortion, you'd pay a realistic price
for cars and the economy wouln't be disrupted by strikes.

If lawyers would just all die you wouldn't pay 40% more for a ladder or
150% more for a doctor.
