Ketsu is spot on. Real income levels are falling for the middle class and they are just working harder (same thing occurs with idiotic physicians who work harder the less you pay them). Meanwhile wealth is being super concentrated in financial services and anyone who recieves compensation denominated by the financial services industry. Why?? Currency confiscation and real wealth redestribution to financial service industry by the unconstitutional chief agent of impoversation - The Federal Reserve Board (est. 1913 by the commie Woodrow Wilson at the behest of his J.P. Morgan).
