Once middle-class, now working-poor

According to a new report from Pew - one in three people who grew up in the middle class in the 1970's have now dropped out of the middle class today and are part of the working poor. They just couldn't cut it anymore in the new America - where billionaires and their bought-off politicians have raised the bar for entry into the middle class higher and higher - until eventually very few people can actually climb over it. And more and more people have just accepted that as the new normal - rather than pushing back against this downsizing of the American Dream - and asking why are we kicking more people OUT of the middle class instead of bringing more people INTO it?
