We're # 27 !!!!

The American middle-class has been taking it on the chin for a few decades and Les Leopold writes about it in Big Lie.

The world is changing and when the rich are benefiting and the 99% aren't screaming the politicians don't feel any need to change.

Unfortunately the need for big money to run political campaigns means that even Democrats have to listen to the rich too. After all, making money is part of the American Dream. Where there's a huge difference is that Democrats want the entire system to work well for everyone and the Republicans seem to think they only need to help the rich. As one Republican Congressman put it, "Our job is to help business." Oh, how wrong he is.
