In the last 50 years taxes have been SLASHED for the RICH and CORPORATIONS under the guise of the “Trickle Down Economics” policy of the Reagan Administration. Under that 3 things were SUPPOSED to happen (and never did); 1) Companies were SUPPOSED to RAISE the salaries of their workers from the profits (never happened). Instead, they bought MORE stocks and split that with the shareholders. 2) Companies were SUPPOSED to HIRE more workers (never happened). They FIRED workers and implemented automation. 3) Companies were SUPPOSED to REINVENT in their companies, making them more productive and profitable. Never happened. They moved overseas where labor is cheaper and they could make MORE money….and the moronic Republicans/right wing voters KEPT voting for it over and over and over again!!! TRUMP is just the last version of this…

I was middle class when I was making twice the minimum wage in the 90s. Now twice the minimum wage is laughable no one can even live on that.

Kite Key Media is a right wing think tank which explains this insane take on the shrinking middle class. Way to twist facts so they fit your narrative 🥴

From 1970 to today, the top 1% gained nearly 9 percentage points of the total national wealth. The bottom 50% share 2.5% of US net worth.

While the size of the middle class has grown smaller, the median income of middle-class households actually increased in real terms—rising from $66,400 in 1970 to $106,100 by recent metrics (adjusted for inflation). [Pew Research Center] However, the middle class holds a much smaller piece of the total economic pie than it used to. Between 1970 and modern tallies, the share of U.S. aggregate income earned by the middle class plummeted from 62% down to 42%, while upper-income households saw their share of total national income balloon from 29% to 50%.
