My intent is to absolve us of the misconception that there is a “middle class” in any conventional sense of the word.
Conventional sense being that of the post WWII middle class economy which is the idealistic standard of the middle class.

No such thing exist today and hasn’t for many years. It’s a myth.

Like many other problems people experience in their life, unless you acknowledge you actually have one, you can do nothing to fix it.

Most ideals of “middle class” is $50,000. Over 40% of income earners make less than that.

Just 4% of the population, 13 million people, hold roughly 52% of our nation’s wealth.
More shocking than that is barely 1% of population, 3.2 million, holds 42% of the nation’s wealth.

“Middle class” is a myth. It doesn’t exist. Unless we figure out a way to rebalance our economy and restore our middle class, sooner rather than later, it will collapse like a house of cards. Serfdom and work camps will be less dystopian fantasy and more dystopian reality.
