Here is why: No Moral Compass. Fractured Families ( secondary to no morals), Kids being Socially Engineered ( PLEASE HOME SCHOOL). the social engineering is not working!! Kids who get trophies for showing up. Drugging our kids ( Adderall) parents who are doped up themselves ( God forbid you feel SAD)!! No Meritocracy!! Kids from other countries will Lord over your young here in the USA!! ( Glad I have no skin in that game)!! Teachers inept and Union Protecting them, the 2 party system, NWO !
@savgal1211 Oh, yes. People who feel ENTITLED to homes they could not afford and the Banksters ( knowing these were selfish and uneducated people), Were more than glad to give them liar loans!! CDO"s, Yup!! BUT, thes ebanksters had a more than willing audience of SELFISH people! I can afford more, and I DON"T Buy more!! I laugh at those with new cars and those hefty car payments. You are a MORON if you pay on a car!! Period!!
@charlie12241: Many manufactures out source due to high demands from Union Workers, that are over paid and not as productive as assembly workers in China. More than 95% of American products are made in China as the only jobs saved from being out sourced are union jobs. I am for fare pay, but the union workers demands way too much for so little in return. That is why many US manufactures out sources to China.
@patsaxon "That is why many US manufactures out sources to China." Ah NO dumdum they outsourced it because THEY COULD outsource it. When Americans quit giving a shit about buy cheap Chinese products from the likes of Walmart thats just spurred it along. GET YOUR fucked up "Fox News" facts straight.
As Americans, we are lazy and do not produce as much as the assembly workers in China. Unions are destroying American industry as they demand more money, and produce much less than China. If you want a job, take minimum wage and stop begging for more money or the rest of the manufacturing like the big three will be sent over to China to cheaper labor.
We're all screwed in the west because we all wanted more than we were willing to work for, like it was our birthright, or our right because we felt we were good upstanding citizens, or better than the Chinese or Mexican labourers, and we borrowed too much and bought the stupid consumer dream. We thought we were middle class because we were called 'manager' but we were really pawns in the elites' dreams of power; i.e. still the working class. OOps!
I red that what makes a person middle class ( including mid and upper) is that if their individual income is between 30,000 to 100,000 dollars. It doesnt matter if you have kids or not. If your alone or are married. We need to come up with an accuall standard classification system.
everybody needs to stop hating on the rich they are people who are smart enough not to work for people they created their own path and they pushed they are people who understood what the american dream meant and did what they needed to do to get it.
Now day's middle class is when you have a car to drive, roof over your head, phone, internet & cable, food for the month, shopping at walmart & a little money in the bank & a dog/cat Otherwise your poor! :P
(sheesh I'm that middle class & hanging on w/my both hands!)
Well there can be a middle class family. Not a middle class individual.. This time the middle class segment cannot rally any more to take out US from another trouble, coz there aint any more middle class families. The concept of families is over and with this the American dream is over. This problem is not just a financial and economic but also a social one. So America will have to pay for the worsening social ethics. ENjoy the ride.
For many families there's no such thing as cost of living anymore, no such thing as buying groceries every week or every other week, no such thing as a vacation, no more heat in the house, not enough gas to visit a family member, etc. doesn't exist anymore. It's more rampant right nw than we think. I used to donate to the Salvation Army all the time, now I find myself standing in line just to get a loaf of bread even though I work, welcome to the new middle class.
wow, our corp media dedicated a whole 3 min to tough times, and how we rallied before and we'll do it again, by gosh.....except a working man could make a living wage in the 50's because people FOUGHT and got busted over the head in 1870,1880, 1890, 1900, and on...if you go to med school or wall street its a given you'll be a millionaire in no time...cause govt been bought and paid for by them..this dingbat professor smells conservative as well...how bout you talk to real folks diane?
Back a few decades ago when things were great in the US and there were jobs for everyone the so called elected officials decide to change everything for the worse. Does that really make any sense, wouldn't it be better for the bankers to build the US as one giant upper middle class? Imagine how strong the country would be then, instead they designed the country to be by and for the rich, and abandoned the average citizen. They crippled the middle class on purpose to enslave the country.
Americans don't seem to realize the USA has two things going for us that many other Western countries don't - a huge market of Christians, & the ability to be self-employed. 4 years ago i was unemployed. i noticed how easily churches got money from their congregation, & tax-free status from the government, so i started a Christian ministry. Now i have 200 people in my congregation, all giving me money. Some even sign over their welfare checks, lol! See my channel.
@PastorBillSuttcliff When the trend goes on, eventually we get another giant Christian version of Malaysia or Saudi Arabia, where every boy studies only Theology and strives to be a pastor or some sort of associated position. Reason: Pastor is the only viable occupation with supposedly guaranteed long-term employment in the USA.
@hojoleon I think you mean never repaired. Americans have NEVER dealt with financial issues like debt, unemployment etc by attacking the root cause of the problem. Rather, they use scams and short term booms such the dot com nonsense, the housing boom etc to make it appear as though the economy is working.
@1dschamp the world has always had unemployment and debt. what we can do is to make sure unemployment is as low as possible but unemployment will always exist.
no you're done. it's god's punishment for what we have done in Iraq and afghanistan and our continual support for illegal israel. and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

what most people forget is that this is not an American issue, it is a global issue.
You have to take into account the middle class of every other (developed/developing) country on earth.
things will not get better until Asia develops its own consumer demand (middle class).
