    The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

      Weird he doesn’t mention the unsustainable government debt and retirement/healthcare liabilities. That’s probably the biggest economic threat to the middle class.

        The middle class are causing the problem with programs they paid for with dedicated taxes along with the poor and what they cost others? It isn't the trillion $ defense budget (war budget now I guess) increased by 1/2 trillion overnight? It isn't the endless wars? It isn't the endless corruption? It isn't the fact oligarchs and corporations pay no taxes?
