The eradication of the middle class

The inability of hard working families to own a home - purchase a vehicle - or save a small fraction of their income - or even all three of these for way too many folks

The number of good people from all walks of life in our country living paycheck to paycheck despite managing their money well is going through the roof

Corporations and the associated capitalist greed are definitely a factor

Regulating policies and voters' lack of options to do anything about it are also a problem - as there is rarely anyone on any ballot that would do anything meaningful to change the current trajectory

Culture wars and border control are fun to get all riled up about - but that crap is just distracting ppl from what's really destroying the American way of life for the largest segment of our population
