Hmmm....then why are you taking the side of A. Pole who seems to think we need more government regulation instead of taking the side of someone who wants less regulation, like me?
Jobs for the middle-class are disappearing quickly, and there's nothing else out there taking up the slack.
Anything other than your word that this is happening?
As wages are stagnant or declining for a majority of Americans

Good question...but I've been unable to find any good data on wages. Usually there is just some lump-sum number, but for wage data to be meaningful we need to see it in terms of a career field vs time vs numbers.
For instance, wages for Economic professors has alledgedy gone up faster than the rate of inflation, according to the WSJ. However, in order for that data to be meaningful to me, I would like to see a total numbers for economic professors for the past 10 to 20 years, and their average salary for each of those years.
Sadly, it's difficult to find this kind of information for particular career fields, especially blue-collar.
One thing you learn quickly in economics is how easily it is to lie with statistics.
