Thanks for confirming.Hey, if you say the middle class is doing great again despite the numbersYou’re waaay beyond stupid.Without those wedge issues why would poor and middle class vote for the party that serves the rich first and the rest of us second?I’d like to know what black people think should be done.Actually, there has to be an awakening that systemic racism doesn't exist. Maybe if these head cases with inferiority complexes would join the real world and compete, they might feel better about things instead of rioting, burning and looting. MAGA
And is this just an election year tactic? Republicans love to play the race card to divide us. That’s how they con working class people into voting for them because it can’t be financial interests unless you’re rich.
The race card is the democrat hypocrite toy. If they can’t get people to buy into their class warfare fantasy, they can always fall back on their many other traditional favorites like race, gender, religion, etc.
Republicans can’t be the party corporations love and at the same time labor should support republicans too?
Think about it. Poor whites like you vote republican because of guns, you hate gays, you’re a racist or you are anti abortion.
These wedge issues con millions of white Christian gun loving racist homophobia Americans into voting republican.
While the household income needed to be considered part of the middle class has gone up, the number of people who meet that requirement has gone down.
Since economists first began keeping track in 1970, every decade has ended with fewer people in the middle class than at the start. And 2015 was the first year on record when Americans in the middle-income bracket did not make up the majority of the country: that is, those above and below the middle class — rich and poor combined — make up half the population
But income disparity is on the rise, and the gap has widened in particular between the middle and upper classes. By 2013, families in the upper-income brackets had seven times as much wealth as middle-income families. Compare that to 1983, when the difference was three times as much.
Goldsboro, N.C., where the middle-income group dropped to 48 percent of the population in 2014, from 60 percent in 2000. Meanwhile, its lower-income group grew to 41 percent, up from 27 percent, during the same period.
5 Pew defines the middle class as those earning between two-thirds and double the median household income. This Pew classification means that the category of middle-income is made up of people making somewhere between$40,500 and $122,000.
