Here are two very scary stats that have come out in the last year:

First, using the federal poverty threshold of $22,400 a year for a family of 4, 1/2 of all American families live at 125% of poverty OR LESS!!! (Reported september, 2011, "Charlotte Obaserver")

Second, 63% of all Americans could not come up with $1000 if they had to... (NBC nightly news)...

Me thinks that the TeaFoxLicans would be quite happy with a country that looked more like Somalia...

BTW, the slide in working class wages charts month-by-month with the union busting that Ronald Reagan started back in 1982 when he used the full force of the the federal government to bust the Air Traffic Controllers Union and let it be known to Boss Hog's everywhere that it was open season on unions...
