lots more stats.
 
The US middle class used to be the world's wealthiest, now is ranked 19th.
Yep, once the envy of the world, the US middle class has sunk to mediocre, thanks to inequality that some claim doesn't exist.
Number one reason decades of flat wages. Who determines wages?
Let's not raise the minimum wage even though as the conservative Cato Institute points out, raising the minimum wage helps 70% of the middle class.
No, let's continue to watch the middle class sink because we're dumb fucks and we support the rich getting richer on the backs of the working class.
Middle class Americans: Not so wealthy by global standards

Well that is a very lame response.
Working Americans used to be the wealthiest working class in the world, now we are 19th and you are OK with that? Obviously you don't care about yourself or about your children's and your future generations future.
Can't get any more spineless and dumber than that!
 
Yawn.

I've got mine, Jack. What's your problem?

The problem with the middle class is the lack of business investment in Obama's America.

Oh, I thought you were maybe somewhat informed,,I guess not!
I would surmise that 99.9% of economist and anyone who has studied economics would know that income/wealth inequality started in the early 1980's and continued through today under Democratic and Republican presidents and congresses.
But like any political partisan hack, you blame the "other guys", while ignoring economic factual history.
Oh yeah, based on your post I highly doubt that you got yours, no way Bucko! :cool-45:
