Why America’s middle class is lost

[hvactec]

The middle class took America to the moon. Then something went horribly wrong.

DOWNEY, CALIF. — One day in 1967, Bob Thompson sprayed foam on a hunk of metal in a cavernous factory south of Los Angeles. And then another day, not too long after, he sat at a long wood bar with a black-and-white television hanging over it, and he watched that hunk of metal land a man on the moon.

On July 20, 1969 — the day of the landing — Thompson sipped his Budweiser and thought about all the people who had ever stared at that moon. Kings and queens and Jesus Christ himself. He marveled at how when it came time to reach it, the job started in Downey. The bartender wept.

On a warm day, almost a half-century later, Thompson curled his mouth beneath a white beard and talked about the bar that fell to make way for a freeway, the space-age factory that closed down and the town that is still waiting for its next great economic rocket, its new starship to the middle class.

Why America's middle class is lost

Middle Class lost because:

1) liberals destroyed the family creating millions of poor single Mom's unsuited for work and equality

2) liberal unions drove 30 million jobs off shore

3) highest liberals corporate tax rate in world drove 20 million jobs off shore

4) liberal deficits encourage China and Japan to buy our debt rather than our products with their dollars

5) Obamacare prevents businesses from hiring and growing thus recessing 20% of our economy

6) Liberal union war on our schools has destroyed them rendering many of our kids fit for work!!

7)) Liberal war on religion has has left many Americans aimless and without drive or ambition and thus inequal.

8) Liberals support minimum wage making it illegal to hire many who then cant achieve equality

9) liberals invited in 20 million illegals to take our jobs thus making equality impossible for 20 million.

Wow you've got quite a carefully structured boogeyman in your life. The evil liberals.

It's structural. We about tripled the global workforce and interconnected the world with technology. Supply will be determined to have eclipsed demand for several generations.
