True...the middle class IS being systematically destroyed, and not just in America. In most of the world. Its very useful for the progressives, because they can point out that the gap between rich and poor is increasing, and how awful that is, and something (more taxes) just HAS to be done about it.
I dont deny the gap is increasing, but I have always thought its a symptom of a problem, more than a problem in itself. If we had a rich vibrant culture of enterprise, rather than one of increasing entitlement, the gap would either shrink or it wouldnt matter, because everyone would be better off.
there should be absolutely no reason why a couple can work at medium wage jobs for 30-40 yrs and come out with a good home, and money in the bank, and vacations....
everything is being made to be out of reach of even people that work hard every single day....
