ParticipantGreat comment Arraya. I wish I could find a bone to pick, solely for the sake of discussion. First time through, I can’t. If I have some time later, I’ll take another look and see if there’s something we can fight about.

Guest[quote=Arraya]It’s not the demise of the middle class, it’s the creation of the American underclass. Which stated in the 70s with a slow decay and has accelerated the past few years with the debt collapse. [/quote]
Good post Arraya.
[quote=patb][quote=joec]
The middle class in America arose after WWII with the baby boomers and peace time after the war. The boom from early technology, cars, electronics, appliances, etc…helped put a lot of folks get decent middle class jobs.
.[/quote]
FDR created the middle class
reagan wrecked it[/quote]If you look back to the time before FDR, middle-class families had live-in servants from the lower-class. That was perfectly common.
After FDR, we had a much more egalitarian society where increasingly everyone could get an education. Executives did not make hundreds of times more than the line employees.
As Temecula Guy pointed out, we are a much wealthier society but we now we have greater class disparity and an under-class emerging again.
Do we really want to go back to the 1920s?
