36 Statistics Which Prove That The American Dream is...

[MoonOwl]

...Turning into an Absolute Nightmare for the American Middle Class.

"The U.S. middle class is being shredded, ripped apart and systematically wiped out. If you doubt this, just check out the statistics below. The American Dream is being transformed into an absolute nightmare. Once upon a time, the rest of the world knew that most Americans were able to live a middle class lifestyle. Most American families had nice homes, most American families had a car or two, most American families had nice clothes, most American families had an overabundance of food and most American families could even look forward to sending their children to college if that is what the kids wanted to do. There was an implicit promise that this was the way that it was always going to be."

<College degree, minimum wage job (in my field luckily), living at home, in student loan debt up to my eyeballs, working on an MA I may never find a job with.

It makes me want to heave. I'm not in favor of punishing successful people to pay off lazy people, but 1% owning 33% of the wealth??? How does that happen? Ugh, so sad.

Don't worry, we'll keep electing the same sold-out crap and nothing will get any better.

We really have no one to blame but ourselves for installing people in power over the past few decades who have completely sold us out to the fattening of their personal portfolios.

But hey, pay no attention... Keep being distracted by the bullshit they put up.

Mystic, y'all better look out. We've been used up and now they'll all be looking to your country.
