RE: In the U.S. what is happening to the middle class?

in #economy8 years ago (edited)

I hadn't considered the "eroding" of the middle class before.

The @zer0hedge post reminded me of something I read a few weeks ago about Don Foss stepping down as the head of Credit Acceptance Corp, one of (if notTHE) largest sub-prime auto lenders.

He reportedly unloaded a buttload of his former company's stock after retiring.

What does that say about the lower end of the middle class?

Ugh... I hadn't heard about that. I have a mental picture of us all being lead around by some grinning maniac holding a red easy button like it is brains and we are a hoard of zombies looking for a meal.

Sadly, I think "The West" has come to the 3rd Generation in the saying that:

The 1st Generation starts a company builds the foundation.

The 2nd Generation comes along and builds a successful business on that foundation.

And the 3rd generation comes along and runs it right into the ground.
