you right whiners think your little fairy tales have an impact on the
middle class.

wrong


Nope, many of them become lillionaires! And before they are 50... Only
the portion that is not thinking correctly end up losers and without raises.


why not check the GINI coefficient? the US has the least social
mobility of 10 western democracies, except for the UK


Because many have lost the American way, trading it in for envy, greed
and entitlement -- which do not work.

Plus, your born much better off than 80% of the world to start with. In
in Afganistan, less than a 50% chance you can read when you are 20. The
room to grow their is high. Bum to Saddam or Obama, sorry, Osama in a
lifetime is real and fewer people to compete with.

more facts to blow your bull**** away.

and those without raises? that's the ENTIRE MIDDLE CLASS

I actually don't entirely disagree with you in that being middle class
is now tougher than ever before. But I disagree with the reason.

Big fat corruptive government is the cause. Track total government
revnue against wages...you will see government outsrips income. And you
can't keep having government grow like a cancer.

At some point, DC will go bankrupt. And Obama will have the dubious
honor of kicking DC past the tipping point.
