Sorry but I am not basing my life on a movie or a figment of someone's paranoid imagination.

That is a scare tactic.

If we don't pass this stimulus bill, the unemployment rate will go over 8% That's a scare tactic.

"wages have been stagnant during the entire duration of Reagan's little experiement"

After analyzing the data from the U.S. Department of Commerce
Table A-3: Selected Measures of Household Income Dispersion: 1967 to 2003 pages 36-37 which can be seen here

I find the following average income decreases and increases:

Up by %5.54 during the Nixon / Ford administration

Down by %1.56 during the Carter administration

Up by %5.29 during the Reagan administration

Up by % .12 during the Bush I administration

Up by %6.92 during the Clinton administration

That is if I am adding up the percentiles wrong. Maybe someone could check my results. I could be wrong.
