The inevitable result of corporate outsourcing, H1B visas and illegal invasions. All drive wages down, narrow the tax base and lower middle class median wage. So for the time being corporations maximize profits and the market irrationally soars until the middle class’ golden neck has been rung.
Meanwhile taxes continue to go up, higher minimum wages and Obamacare squeeze small and medium businesses out, and higher inflation squeezes the money remaining. Gas will eventually go back up to $4/gallon (and likely $6) which will further squeeze people.
