and if the middle class hasnt had a real wage increase in 10 years,
you have to invent SOME idiotic reason it's their fault...

BTW where do you get that 100m number you keep throwing around as
fact? If I believe the definition of middle class that was established
here ($100k to $200k) the total number of households is more like 13
million.

there are about 110M wage earners in this country. the middle class
generally is the middle 20-80%

Let's see, 20~80% is about 60%. 60% of 110M wage earners is 66M. The
number is shrinking.

oh. so only 66M americans are idiots and should live ijn poverty?

i stand corrected

You're the stickler for "facts".
