more proof the middle class is screwed
 
the right keeps denying the middle class is getting screwed. THEN,
when they DO admit we have a problem, they blame the middle class.
now comes m ore proof the middle class is being raped by the wealthy:


http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/1a8a5cb2-9...44feab49a.html

The slow economic strangulation of the Freemans and millions of other
middle-class Americans started long before the Great Recession, which
merely exacerbated the “personal recession” that ordinary Americans
had been suffering for years. Dubbed “median wage stagnation” by
economists, the annual incomes of the bottom 90 per cent of US
families have been essentially flat since 1973 – having risen by only
10 per cent in real terms over the past 37 years. That means most
Americans have been treading water for more than a generation. Over
the same period the incomes of the top 1 per cent have tripled. In
1973, chief executives were on average paid 26 times the median
income. Now the *multiple is above 300.

The trend has only been getting stronger. Most economists see the
Great Stagnation as a structural problem – meaning it is immune to the
business cycle. In the last expansion, which started in January 2002
and ended in December 2007, the median US household income dropped by
$2,000 – the first ever instance where most Americans were worse off
at the end of a cycle than at the start. Worse is that the long era of
stagnating incomes has been accompanied by something profoundly
un-American: declining income mobility.

Then there are those, such as Paul Krugman, The New York Times
columnist and Nobel prize winner, who blame it on politics, notably
the conservative backlash which began when Ronald Reagan came to power
in 1980, and which sped up the decline of unions and reversed the most
progressive features of the US tax system.

Fewer than a tenth of American private sector workers now belong to a
union. People in Europe and Canada are subjected to the same forces of
globalisation and technology. But they belong to unions in larger
numbers and their healthcare is publicly funded. More than half of
household bankruptcies in the US are caused by a serious *illness or
accident

There is and was no recession. There was a financial collapse of the house

The "recession" is similar to what some pundits refer to as a "correction"
in the stock market. The U.S. is merely reverting to a lower wage, lower
level lifestyle that's come about by the voting habits of the inhabitants,
their purchasing habits, and a rampant invasion of 3rd world illiterates
very efficiently transposing the former U.S. into their home country's
cultural ********. The new "middle class" is now minimum wage at Walmart
and other marketing companies promoting junk at U.S. retail prices.

It's actually a very good thing for red China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Viet Nam and others. It's their turn at productive capitalism.

gee. he wants to blame it on the wetbacks.

unfortunately his bull**** is too easy to disprove

-illegal immigrants have been coming here for decades. they had little
effect on GDP

-the recession started in 2007. in that time the US net worth dropped
from $65 trillion to 55.

-this had nothing to do with mexicans

-it DID have to do with wall street inflating CDO's from 1 trillion in
1997 to SIXTY TWO TRILLION in 2007

but it's easier to blame it on racial issues than on the rich. that's
what the right wing goes.

nothing the rich do is ever wrong. that would be a shot in the ass at
the 'american dream'. the right never wants to admit they've ****ed

You have a very hard time with sentence comprehension - all I said about
"wetbacks" (your term) is that the overall attitude of the country has
changed, not only from "wetbacks" but various other 3rd world "immigrants"
exploding in a formerly civilized population.

My comment about recession was that it is not a recession, but a change in
the economic climate. "Wall Street" was and is a house of cards trading
paper. Yes, they screwed you, by screwing you out of your presumed wealth
on paper. The fact is that congress and you yourself have screwed the middle
class to a far greater degree.

There's no blame except with congress for the past 40 years, and for the
sheep that followed their lead and direction.

What you have no choice but to get used to is a dramatically different
country if you chose to stay there. Core industries will not be returning.
Walmart and similar entities will never replace automotive manufacturing or
related industries that literally caused the emergence of the middle class.
Stupid rants like "Bush did it" serve only to self-endorse your own
political and mental malfunction.

Stupid rants like "Bush did it" serve only to self-endorse your own
political and mental malfunction.


and racist screeds like 'obama did it' miss the entire point of never
electing anothe conservative to office again

ROFLMAO!!! I AM MIDDLE CLASS YOU MORON!!


I don't get sucked in by worthless paper, nor am I confined in the U.S. as
you seem to be. Keep doing the same thing, blaming a different (competing)
of criminals, and get ready for your accelerating slide into 3rd world
economic feudalism. You elected them, you deplete the economic core, take
responsibility instead of expecting some empty suit to save you from your
own behavior or apathy.

I bet you voted for Clinton and he was right at ground zero in this
deregulation.


with the GOP congress...stampeded by free market fundamentalism and
the lies of the wall steet/right wing axis.

hell, he tried to get universal healthcare. didn't go very far. but
deregulation for the rich....worked great.

and the right wing screeds of reagan and bush about 'smaller
govt'...all that bull**** worked out real well for the american middle
class

agree they're weasels...unfortunately it was folks like alan greenspan
and milton friedman who were writing the script for deregulation over
the last 30 years...

and they were GOP advisors
