[quote=Anonymous]Couple things.

It's proven that in the USA if you do these simple things 95 percent will be middle class or higher.

1) graduate highschool
2) don't get pregnant before marriage
3) have a job.

Somehow foreign Asians are able to thrive here almost immediately. Copy them.

The things people have said already are true. People consume so much more today than in years past. When I grew up in the 70s in Potomac our house didn't have air conditioning, we maybe went out to eat 4 times a year. Kids clothes were bought at Sears and hand me downs. No cable. No cellphones. No air travel. 1 week Vacation at ocean city. Kids played outside no planned activities, tutoring etc. kids got themselves to sports practice on bikes. 1 car.

It was awesome!! The fun roving packs of kids outside all day is unmatched today.

The biggest violation I see today is big education. The colleges are putting young people in massive debt right at the start of their lives for no good reason. They are enriching themselves on the backs of our youth out of pure greed and need to be raked over the coals. I cannot believe young people haven't rioted. In the 70s people would have rioted. My total college bill was $12000 for the whole thing all 4 years. There is no excuse for the government/big education collusion with government loans to pump college income into the stratosphere. With today's technology college can be slashed to almost nothing but the entrenched leaches (who deserve to be shot) have walled off the threat. [/quote]
