Good lord, check indeed or the local newspaper. The economy is doing great and jobs can’t be filled fast enough. That problem in some way will slow this growth down. I guess welfare and Obamacare is still too enticing to get some to walk outside and get something better. Middle class is not something that is given too anyone.
The problem is not the people not working. The problem is low wages that allow large corporations to make record profits while tax payers have to support the workers. Over two thirds of people receiving government assistance are from working families.
The middle class is being squeezed by the upper class while blaming the other lower and middle classs worker, or illegal immigrants, or anyone other than the people who are actually taking in all the new wealth created by the booming economy.
If you all really beliueved that we should not "blame anyone else" then you would not be worried about building a wall to keep out immigrants. The ealthy leasers in charge have you guys all fired up into vblaming illegal immigrants when it is actually the wealthy leaders that are taking all the profits and putting the squeeze on the middle class.
