Also I agree with the fact that 20 years ago most american families could survive on one income. Now days most barely survive on two with credit cards. That shows a trend were the middle class income is not keeping up with cost of living. But you look at the the top 5% of the country and they have increased the amount of money they make by alot. Just look at the Forbes riches people, there are a growing amount of multi billionares every year.
