The Middle Class in America Is Radically Shrinking. Here Are the Stats to Prove it

My conclusion is that all of us will become stress,cancer and lost many time and money if we continue reading all articles about politics, economics, laws ... in this Yahoo website and other websites as well as watching on TV.

I donot care about your solutions and discusions because all parties are corrupted and all citizens are brain washed by TV, movies, newspapers, websites, our education system, and parties.

All partiots have no change to become the USA President because all people are corruptions and all of patriot's comment in Yahoo website are deleted :(

My best solution is that I will search for healthy foods (fruits and vegetables) and eat them instead of eating drugs, try to pay off my debt, watch funny movies and Dr. Oz shows on Channel 16, and read healthy books of Dr. Edward Griffin.

Good luck to you! Have a nice day! Be healthy!

Ask yourself.

Who owns you.

Now deal with it because you're pwnd

There are NO FREE RIDES; Democratic or Republican, it does not matter! BRING BACK MANUFACTURING INTO THIS COUNTRY! REPEAL NAFTA! Having said this, outlaw ALL income tax and get RID of all the loop-holes.... NOW then, put a flat 15% SALES TAX on EVERY PENNY SPENT, on EVERY ITEM SOLD in this country; hardlines, softlines, food, entertainment, EVERYTHING!!!. Sounds scary right? Well, stop and think for a moment. WHO spends MORE money; the Wealthy or the Poor? NOW you begin to see FAIR taxing... AND guess WHAT? The ONLY tax exemptions will be to MANUFACTURING.... Oh my goodness, do I see Corporations RUSHING to bring the manufacturing plants BACK inside the U. S.? The wealthy may NOT show genuine incomes, but be assured, they DO SPEND! TAX the their spending and let their factories claim exemptions....

This is a recession where there are no GOOD jobs. McDonald’s is hiring, there is a bank teller shortage. Is that what you really want to do?

Perhaps you've thought of getting your MBA?

MBA applications always go up during a bad economy. The problem is that an MBA tends to make it worse.

Here are several reasons why...
...
1. Business school won’t help you be a good entrepreneur.
2. You likely don’t need an MBA for what you want to do.
3. The cost of the degree is so much more than the combined cost of taking two years off of work and paying for the degree.

If you really want an education, You need to learn how to earn using the best practices in today's economic reality.

Globalization and technology will continue to eliminate more and more jobs. This is nothing new.

In fact, we've been experiencing this shift for more than 6 decades. I liken it to boiling a frog. If you stick a frog in a pot of boiling water, it immediately jumps out to saftey. However, if you put a frog in a pot of room-temperature water and slowly bring it to a boil, the frog stays in until it boils to death.

Americans have become like the frog due to the length of time this transition has been taking place. We have been desensitized. The reality is, we are moving into a new type of economy faster and faster as time goes by.

It is important to note, YOU have control over your own economy. There are more opportunities today than at any other time in history. And, with the collapsing banking system and the stock market in shambles, your finances should now more than ever be controlled by YOU! Your financial future is at stake.

There's one simple reason why most people don't make the improvements in their lives that would make things better... They choose to 'rationalize' that is, tell themselves 'rational lies,' because it might shake things up a little too much.

You've got a choice:

You either be dependent on the government, in essence they own you, or you stand true to the values that this great country was founded upon, (i.e. the land of opportunity). Or, to put it another way...

Either go after the knowledge and opportunities that will make a difference or continue to dwell in your own misery.

I knew this was going to happen when intellectual achievement went unnoticed in the U.S. and the literary traditions vanished from common people. Among the elites the intellectual stuffs are still modestly appreciated as long as the intellectual elites behaved like emotional workers for wealthy college kids.

Our biggest vote counts where we make our purchases. We as consumers can end this dependence on the foreign market and bring jobs back here by insisting on buying American whenever possible. This is how we are slowly making changes in the food industry. People started being concerned about what they were eating and started paying a little extra for organic. Now the organic market is booming. The same thing can be applied to our market. Big companies must go to where the money is.

America is mad, mad, mad because Obama can't fix America now. He was hired to fix it and he was on the way then BP spread oil all over the Gulf. He has made some movement in America towards decent health care. He is trying to get us out of two wars started by them and he is trying to bail us out of a total world depression, caused by them, and to fix the system so that it doesn't happen again.

We are mad because the Government does not work. We keep forgetting that takes a couple of years to fix a broken Government Work Force.
And we are mad at him because he can't create employment other then Government jobs. Folks he can't bring the jobs back, they are gone. Either you demand jobs from the financial sector or you work for the government or go on welfare, there are not a lot of options.
America was created because we wanted something better and we were willing to work fore it. We took over a land that was like Eden and we moved here to better our selves. We moved to America from all over the world because we wanted something better for ourselves and our children. And we worked for it. In the beginning we had great leaders who tried to set up a government that was structured to benefit every citizen of America, and they did a very good job. It is too bad that they did not realize that Capitalism needed to be controlled from the beginning. They did not realize that men would create a world where businesses had the same rights as citizens and were not responsible for their actions as citizens are. The founding fathers did not realize that Capitalism is too addicting to left uncontrolled.
If you want to help fix this problem you can starting telling Capitalism that this is a Democracy. If not you can move to Panama where you can afford to live well with very little money plus they have a good national health care system with very skilled medical people.

The western elite throws resources toward middle class demise from all angles through political bribes and control of the media. Success breeds success and it is harder for the people to dig out of this whole. Unfortunately, the post war middle class has become an historical aberration and the struggles of previous generations lost. FDR was called a traitor to his class. The elite have been working for this day since the 1930's. The surprise is how many middle class people have historical amnesia and agitate for the demise of middle class institutions rather than taking them back to meet their needs. Social security is next. Read Charles Dickens for your future.

What amazes me is the inability of the American people to see that, as flawed and passive as the Democrats might be in their ill-fated attempt to be bipartisan and fair, they at least promote legislation that serves the needs of the working and middle classes. The Republicans care only about profits, not people, and if somebody can't see that, well, de-nial is not just a river in Egypt.

This has nothing to do with god. This has to do with decline of unions, selfishness and greed, stupidity and arrogance, the Republican party, individualism vs. collective caring, repeal of estate tax, etc. Wake up, America.
