This is all so enraging. It wasn't long ago that not only we had a large middle class, but in some ways more importantly a significant Working-middle class. The average person (man) could actually afford to buy a house and raise a family on what he was making and the woman could stay at home with the kids. Now with both working they can't they can barely afford rent. This country has be so fucked over by greedy traitors it makes me sick.
Interesting. The 6% decrease in GDI according to the article equals about $1,248,000,000,000. Divide that by 326 million americans that is about 3,800 dollars more that every american should be making. And that is the low estimate not taking into account inflation and compound gains that you can make on that money. This wealth "gap" crises is literally just corporations stealing and the government deflating your savings. Absolutely disgusting.
