The problem here now is that the middle class is fleeing (often following their jobs, or retiring to places where you don’t have to pay $750/month just in property taxes alone), and the state governments are trafficking more Third Worlders in to prevent ghost towns from springing up all over. The remaining Americans are taxed to death providing everything for them and their anchor babies...
I’m VERY Middle-Class. Have been all of my life.
I’ve been reading the tea leaves and have sold most assets, retired early and moved to the middle of nowhere...to grow tomatoes and work on my Manifesto. ;)
