When we moved to the US in 1977 circulated Mercury dimes were a dollar and minimum wage was ~$3 an hour, I could work an hour and get 3 Mercury dimes, today with minimum wage being $15 an hour I can get 7 Mercury dimes. Just saying what was cheap 40-50 years ago may actually be cheaper today.
Not in all states. Federal Minimum Wage is $7.25/hour.

I get paid plenty.

My intent was to indicate that not all people are equal in your statement.
