Is THIS What Is Causing the Middle Class to Disappear?

[SYTFE]

It's inevitable for the middle class to disappear within a capitalistic system, eventually. The chasm between the wealthy and the poor continues to grow more and more unbalanced over time, making the middle class almost indistinguishable from the poor in terms of assets. There is a direct correlation between technological advancement and a diminishing middle class. As entrepreneurs keep building businesses that bypass traditional channels and make things more "convenient" for people, the middle class will continue to shrink. The internet (and smart phones) is actually the biggest threat to the middle class. It's the biggest double edged sword humanity has ever seen, we just don't realize it yet.

Humans have an innate desire for convenience, to make things "easier," to think less and less and do less work, and as long as entrepreneurs continue to exploit this natural tendency, the future looks pretty scary.

From CNN 13 January 2017:
-------------------------------------------------
The number of people out of work around the world will hit 200 million in 2017, a new record high. And those with jobs shouldn't bank on a raise. ...global unemployment is expected to rise by 3.4 million this year, and by 2.7 million in 2018, because the workforce is growing at a faster pace than jobs are being created.

...long term unemployment is becoming a big problem in Europe and North America. Nearly half of unemployed people in Europe, and a quarter in the U.S., have been looking for work for more than six months.

The Reality

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

(CNSNews.com) - The United States lost 286,000 manufacturing jobs during the time President Barack Obama has been in office, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

But, at the same time, the United States gained 3,238,800 jobs in retail, food services and drinking places.

Manufacturing workers, however, had average hourly earnings ($26.37 in December, according to BLS) that were about 94 percent more than those of workers in food services and drinking places ($13.60 in November) and 45 percent more than workers in retail ($18.18 in December).

What is causing middle class jobs to disappear?
1) the highest liberal corporate taxes in the world
2) liberal unions
3) liberal budget deficits
4) the liberal war on our families schools religions and thus on our middle class.
5) inviting 30 million illegals to take our jobs.
