Pan,
I don't think anyone is disagreeing with the description of the situation. It's just that all these other nations that you are comparing the US to, where the middle class and the poor do better, are also nations that have policies in place that are far to the left of any of the two major US parties, including Obama.
So it strikes people as odd that at the same time that those issues are noted that Obama could be denounced as a far left politician.
There is no magic bullet here. Middle and lower classes in other nations do better than their American counterparts in many areas because of things like more progressive taxation, universal healthcare, more extensive welfare state and other things that would be considered ultra radical over here.
