but don't you think our social problems are related to the evaporation of our middle class?
what you are saying is middle class should be a minimum in this country--we're certainly wealthy enough to do it
if that became the minimum, the top would have to stretch higher, achieve more, in order to pull away from the pack. it seems raising the standard would have an invigorating stimulus on the whole class structure.
