If you look at the ratio of earned income to unearned income in this country it would not be hard to see the problem. For this comparison I call earned income wages the are being paid to an employee for work done or hours performed. Unearned is SS, Medicare, pensions, stock market, welfare, earned income credit, disabilities, or any income received without working during same time period. That ratio is tipping or has already tipped over. I just think it's another way to look at the economy. I also don't have that number just something to discuss but I suspect it is inverted.
