Future Of America

No, I am not optimistic about the financial future of America’s middle class. With that being said, it has become common today to dismiss the fact that the financial future of America’s middle class is on the decline. Common sense seems to dictate that as a world we don’t give this issue much thought. As my mom says, “There is no middle class! Only the rich and the poor, and if you don’t have money you don’t matter.” In a society like today where people only care for themselves, look out for their best interest and do whatever it takes to stay on top things tend to be forgotten or over looked. There are a few people who talk of this issue for example, Paul Krugman, an economics professor at Printon and Neal Gabler, a MFA Creative Writing and

Instead of judging one another for problems that they can’t help, people need to help one another. In David Lauter, 2016 article How do Americans view poverty?

The American Dream is a word made to make America seems so great. The portrayals of this in movies is nothing compared to real life, especially if you’re not on the receiving end of what society considers wealthy. It’s easy to say that money is the world because it simply is. Money. Money. Money, that’s all we hear. “I need money for books. Money for food. Money for transportation. I have no money to pay the bills.” If you have money then you have power, but if you don’t have enough then you can’t do anything about it. In Gabler’s article “The Secret Shame of Middle Class Americans” he states that last year the Pew Charitable Trust funds published two reports saying “71 percent of people were concerned about having enough money to cover everyday expenses.” Living life day to day, is already tough enough but the constant reminder that you don’t have enough money for simple things is even
