Yes, the middle class is somewhat smaller. At the same time, those below the poverty level, have remained constant. What has happened is that middle-income workers have moved into the upper-income group of workers.The middle class used to make cars, toasters, televisions, radio's, etc etc etc. That has largely been sent overseas. It is not the same world today that it was in 1986.

The damage being done by Biden/Harris administration to our economy could take decades for us to recover. It is another disaster getting worse by the day.
The US Is Officially A Banana Republic:
The Top 1% Now Own More Wealth Than The Entire Middle Class
In the 1950s and 1960s, the economy was booming and the wealthiest Americans were paying a top income tax rate of 91%. Currently, the top rate is only 43.4%.
What Biden is doing is nothing any different than we have been doing for years.
Bezo's hasn't worked for much of what he has. The trillions pumped into the market has artificially raised his net worth. There are thousands of people who work harder than he does but aren't billionaire's.
That’s literally exactly what corruption is. What your describing is corruption.That the way the system works. Both parties buy and sell influence, not just Trump, so how is that "corrupt"?
Well, that statement certainly takes a lot of chutzpah!That’s not TDS. That’s a reflection of your description of Trump’s corruption.
Biden is corrupt!Well, that statement certainly takes a lot of chutzpah!
Without question, we have one of the most corrupt presidents in our history sort of occupying the Oval Office and you want to point to one of the very few men in history to leave the Oval Office with much less than he started. And you call THAT corrupt.
If that is corruption, why isn't the FBI arresting all members of PACs and lobbyists?That’s literally exactly what corruption is. What your describing is corruption.

1. Good employees are in demand.Pure partisan bullshit.
People don’t want to work shitty jobs anymore. People don’t want to be treated like shit from customers and from their bosses. People don’t want to work for people who don’t care about their health or dignity.
This isn’t about free stuff, it’s about people deciding what’s best for them. Corporate America needs to wake up and understand they can’t get away with how they treat people anymore.

1. Good employees are always in demand in every economy. This is a meaningless statement and glosses over what makes a good employee a good employee and ignores the interplay between a good employee and a good employer.1. Good employees are in demand.
2. Bad employers don’t keep good employees long.
3. Bad employees are now a dime a dozen, making all “good workers” stand out.
Twenty years ago, exceptional workers stood out because being a “good worker” meant being an average employee. IOW, nothing special because it was socially expected that employees show up on time, expect to work, not call in every week, etc.
Big picture: A nation becomes what the “nation” rewards. Look at what’s being rewarded right now by our government. Biden’s message: You can choose to stay home, don’t work, and wait for the next stimulus check to get by. Don’t get a second job as temporary solution even though you would get out of debt. That would require too much effort when you can sign up for government assistance and fake a back injury (unscrupulous doctors still practice).
I enjoy the freedom of taking personal responsibility for my actions and inactions.
Blaming the system is not only a futile time waste but harmful to personal freedom of choice. I would never back a government that plans to conduct a major land grab to the tune of 30% under the guise of undefined, permanent “conservation”. This 30 x 30 land grab is going to bite this current administration. Libertarians, independents, conservatives, and moderates (including a large portion of corporate Dems) will unite over the government’s direct intention to take farm and ranch land. It is under states rights to allow its citizens the freedom to own land! Communities are taking action to protect their property rights and all states should be concerned.
Biden’s handlers are going down, and sooner than I anticipated. It’s been one after another policy fail since he stepped (stumbled) into office. The public needs names of Biden’s string pullers. Media is mute about that- shocker! Public demand for governmental transparency of their hidden motives is growing!
~~~~~~Biden is corrupt!
Really, what did he do?
Don’t know but he’s super corrupt.

I say what I mean. It isn't what I infer, it's how one wants to spin what I said because one can not make a legitimate argument otherwise.

I appreciate your organized response, however, the particulars need a fined-tooth comb for accuracy in which I happen to be carrying.1. Good employees are always in demand in every economy. This is a meaningless statement and glosses over what makes a good employee a good employee and ignores the interplay between a good employee and a good employer.
2. This I agree with. What we are seeing now, I believe, is a lot of bad employers who now realize they can't keep good employees because they're bad employers.
3. Bad employees aren't always bad employees because they're bad people. It's just that sometimes they don't give a shit about their employers because their employers don't give a shit about them.
You bring on a good point about taking responsibility for your own actions, but you should extend the people who should be feel responsibility. Some employers should stop blaming others for their lack of employees and start looking at their own actions as to how they brought about this on themselves.
For example, take trucking. I was thinking about this earlier. There's a huge shortage in trucking, primarily because the older generation of truckers is retiring and younger people don't want a job that takes them away from home for weeks, that is incredibly unhealthy, that is far too demanding with far too long hours and far too little benefit. On top of that, the trucking industry has an incredibly predatory streak that takes truckers and turns them into "independent contractors" so they don't have to pay them benefits but still has leverage over them because they loaned them value in training and buying their equipment.
Corporate America has gotten away with far too much for far too long and the benefits of this behavior has amassed at the very top of the ladder. This is blowback.
Every loophole for billionaires should be taken away. Nobody is against that.
