Have things been getting better for the middle class, or have things been getting worse? Needless to say, the answer to that question is obvious.

Our economy is a mess, and America’s middle class is getting smaller and smaller. Sometimes I feel like I am watching a very tragic version of musical chairs. If you are still holding on to your chair, you should be very thankful, because more people are slipping out of the middle class and into poverty with each passing day.
If you are old enough, you can still remember a time when many middle class families would purchase a new vehicle every few years.
