Along with the decimation of the middle class, we’ve seen the decimation of middle class neighborhoods, so that today’s families have to choose between gang-infested barrios, or insanely-priced, “fancy” neighborhoods where all the white and Asian families are fleeing to in order to escape the gang ‘hoods. It’s like people have been left with no real options: they either subject their children to the gangs at school and in their neighborhoods, or they have to pay the piper to get them into schools with “Buffy” and “Skip” so they can feel safe and get a decent education. There is no more “middle” left in our society, and this speaks to the root of our problems, and the problems of the world, right now, IMHO.[/quote]

And there are plenty of stats to back this up.
CAR, when are you running for office? :-)[/quote]
Thanks, permabear. 🙂
Unfortunately, if someone runs for office, they are no longer allowed to speak the truth, which is why I doubt we’ll ever see the needed reform to get our country back on track.
