Just because you are a maginal worker and have not got a pay raise, do not
judge the rest of the middle class as being the same losers are you.
part of the right wing kool aid is to deny evidence in favor of myth
it's a FACT the middle class hasn't had a pay increase in 10 years.
but the right doesnt like the evidence. it clashes with their fairy
tale. and they hate the middle class, so blame all the problems on
them
go ahead. why not tell us how well the middle class is doing, OK?
OK
"Health care may be more expensive, but modern medicine can do much
mo Americans are living longer and healthier lives. Our houses, on
average, are bigger (over 2,300 square feet, up 40 percent since 1980)
with more cars in the driveway. Those cars are safer, last longer and
are loaded with technology and features once available exclusively to
the wealthiest buyers of luxury cars — from antilock brakes to GPS
navigation systems. "
"Modern conveniences that were unimaginable a generation ago, from
wireless phones to the Internet to hundreds of channels of home
entertainment, are available to most Americans. The modern global
supply chain brings a cornucopia of basic, affordable products — from
year-round fruit shipped from both hemispheres to cheap textiles made
in low-wage, developing countries."
“A middle class person today lives better than the wealthiest
individual who lived 100 years ago,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist
with Moody’s Economy.com.
"Americans also have more to spend. Census data show that the median
income has risen steadily, with temporary setbacks, over the past 60
years as "the real reward for an hour of work has more than tripled,"
according to a February speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke. In 1947, median family income, in 2004 dollars, stood at
just $22,500, according to the Census. By 1973, that figure had
doubled, and continued to rise to $57,500 by the year 2000. "
