In order to have a thriving middle class, you have got to have an economy that produces lots of middle class jobs, and that simply is not happening in America today
We just got more evidence that the middle class in America is dying.
According to brand new numbers that were just released by the Social Security Administration, 51 percent of all workers in the United States make less than $30,000 a year. Let that number sink in for a moment. You can’t support a middle class family in America today on just $2,500 a month – especially after taxes are taken out. And yet more than half of all workers in this country make less than that each month. In order to have a thriving middle class, you have got to have an economy that produces lots of middle class jobs, and that simply is not happening in America today.
You can find the report that the Social Security Administration just released right here. The following are some of the numbers that really stood out for me…

It's great times if you are a school teacher or BOE administrator making 60K per year!!!!
They is the whole end game to make you a slave duh, and if you are to stupid to see it then, you tell me why the fuck you think the govt is taking our rights, and going socialistic and taking all of our money while they get more and more raises and what not...
Everything happens for a reason, When you have 2 or more situations that prove to be true, it is not a conspiracy nor is it a coincidence...
With the upper-middle-class jobs layoffs here in the SBY area over the last five years - the area is probably worse off than the rest.....
How is that trickle down working for you now? The only trickle down is if you are making toys for the super rich to buy.
Loss a good paying middle class job. Then you will see how far one will go from middle class to dirt poor. Once you reach the dirt poor level, its almost impossible to get back on your feet. These minimum wage $7.75 or $8.00 an hour jobs keeps you dirt poor. And, these government hand out don't help. The only hope that most poor have, they hope they win the lottery. Since the Clinton presidency, the rich got filthy rich and the poor got poorer. The poor are suffering under this presidency and the government.
It wasn't the result of Clinton 12:00, this came from Reagan's trickle down, tax cuts for the richest.
And paying college loans off to boot.
I'll take the Reagan years any day over the times we are living now. The nightmare just keeps going on and on!!!!
Reagan went after the unions to do the bidding of the owner class. It killed manufacturing in this country, cars, steel, shipping. All of those middle class jobs disappeared in the 1980's, all out sourced to cheap labor outside the country.
