The Middle Class

I grew up in a middle class household in New Jersey in the 60’s. We were neither rich nor poor, but fairly comfortable. Today, I am not alone in my concern that my children will not have the same middle income standard of living. What is the reason for this? Well, for one thing it is corporate greed and the corruption of the current administration. I am sure some of us who can remember being told that if you work hard and play by the rules, you will be guaranteed a place at the table, a place where you could be a part of the “American Dream”….home ownership, college education for your kids and a secure retirement as well as health insurance coverage. Well today these are all slipping beyond the reach of millions of Americans who have worked hard and played by the rules. The middle class needs to be represented much better than it is now.

I did a google search to see if there is a www.themiddleclass.com and found that there is none. So I propose that someone interested in getting the middle class together to promote support for a strong middle class in the US should consider developing a website with that name for all of us who want to return to the days when the American Dream could be made into more of a reality for our children and grandchildren.

If you feel the same, please let me know as I am really interested in your opinions. I  wholeheartedly supported Bernie Sanders for Senate  in 2006. He is an Independent and maybe it is time for the middle class to follow the example of Senator Sanders and become Independent as well. Maybe then we can get this country moving again in the right direction!
