With election coming there has been lots of talk and promises about the Middle Class……lots of promises on just how to fix the problem and renew the Middle Class…….
Each party has its plan……none of which will go very far to restoring the lots clout of the Middle Class…..
So the obvious question would be…….can the Middle Class ever return?
Some say NO…….and this article explains why such a statement is made……
The American middle class isn’t coming back — it’s going to die with the Baby Boomers – Salon.com.
“It’s the group now retiring that will take most of the spoils of the U.S. postwar boom and leave the rest of us with scrap”
I disagree with the author’s slant on this. Baby boomers are not abandoning the middle class. The powerful corporate interests are robbing them by large cash donations to campaigns to those who support a flawed notion about “freedom” and free markets. They need to focus their outrage and anger at the crony capitalism that is destroying the middle class and quit putting baby boomers out there as the source of their not-so-bright futures.
As one of those baby boomers I am willing to join them in this fight and have done so for years
I agree….as a Boomer myself I have tried to make all aware of the spoils that capitalism is taking from the people…..too many of them are FOX viewers and as such will never see the light….that is until it is too damn late….
