OMG! We've got the second best middle class in the world...WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!?
Maybe quit doing the things which are rotting the middle class? That's just my solution.
(ending the war on drugs and the mass incarceration which goes along with it, foreign interventionism, wars of choice, maintaining our empire at any cost, subsidies/bailouts/tax breaks for corporations, banks, billionaires)
But who am I kidding? The middle class has been brainwashed into thinking they
must have these things in order to sustain themselves.
