and if the middle class hasnt had a real wage increase in 10 years,

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".
And you're just...tacky.

I guess I'm happy being a member of the "middle" class. Been retired 15
years, no pension increase, no Social Security increase this year or next.
My standard of living has not deteriorated in spite of it all.
Maybe I just planned better in my younger years than some here have done.
