10. Everyone knows it's true.
9. We're hearing that this is a myth from the National Review and those clowns are always wrong.
8. Trump says the Middle Class is dead.
7. It's what Rush says too.
6. Statistics are damn lies.
5. Just open your eyes and look around.
4. Anyone who says it's a myth is a Traitor.
3. Yeah.
OK, that's ten.
NATIONAL REVIEW SUCKS.
Fake News
Separating the government from the economy, a free market capitalist system, is what creates class mobility. It allows the poor to work themselves up gradually instead of being stuck in pre-defined roles.
Under socialist systems, the only way to improve is to go into government or come up w/something “big” in the private sector, like a Bill Gates.
If you like separation of church and state, you should favor separation of economy and state.
The typical "middle class" American 50 years ago worked for a major U.S. company -- maybe even in a union job.
The typical "middle class" American today works for the government.
I don't think this bodes well for the U.S. economy at all.
From where I sit, it looks like the middle class may not be dead, but it has taken a heck of a beating over the past two decades.
Don't pee down my back and tell me it's raining.
The types of statistics he cites are no meaningful....look at the number of single income households over the years. Those wonderful numbers he claims are from two income households . Many folks work multiple part time jobs to earn enough to live on.
A house today costs way more than a house in years gone by.
Again tell me the numbers on single income households. That has always been a better indicator. That and the number of people working
The free traitors are cranking up, explaining to us that nothing is wrong. This of course, will mean that nothing needs to be done about open borders and the so called free trade treaties. Very transparent.
Ben Shapiro should get out in the real world.
These ivory tower “conservatives” would also like us to believe that we need to have our country overrun with fraudulently documented foreigners.
That abandoning the rule of law is the only way to solve the problem of illegal aliens, which isn’t really a problem, except for those complaining about it.
But I'm sure none of those folks know what's REALLY going on w/ the middle class. Those whiners never had it so good.
No, I'll listen to the pencil dicks at NR that recommend we just pick up and leave our home towns and go where the work is, you know like to DC; it looks nice there.
Ben is nothing more than a globalist shill who spent the campaign trying to get Hillary Clinton elected. Secondly economic data has been cooked by the government for decades now, but when you review unfakeable data like white male life expectancy it’s declined over the last 10 years despite massive improvements in healthcare. Ben doesn’t give a damn about such things because he’s getting big fat checks from free traders to write his propaganda.
Ben,
Little piece of advice. You seem like a bright young guy.
Get the hell away from the Beltway once in awhile and spend some time in Flint or Toledo or in the Mon Valley.
D.C. is like Disney World. It’s not real.
NR has been on the Never Trump theme ever since he started winning primaries and they'll twist facts or outright lie any way they can to pretend there is no reason for anything to change and shake up their nice little bubble.
