Found this to be a particularly intelligent, important article on the struggles of non-wealthy white people in the U.S. I believe the U.S. is dying, and the trajectory of the middle class is a microcosm of this death.

Lots of contractors lost out to illegal aliens and put a lot of white guys out of work. We sent jobs to Mexico via nafta and they sent us even more illegals.

It’s called “Communism”, “Socialism” or Bernie Sanders “I can’t believe it’s not Communism”.
Karl Marx HATED the middle class. He HATED them. He didn’t have a SINGLE IDEA geared for helping the middle class.
But middle class Marxists (aka the working class) keeps voting for it. :)

I agree the article is interesting, but it’s odd that he uses the last few paragraphs to bash Trump as a “Snake oil salesman”.
