.....Compare that to today when Public schools are being STRANGLED to DEATH. And only the uber-rich can send their kids to college. That is the case that I present.........that the middle class has been PURPOSEFULLY decimated from 1975 to today. AND it is even an unconscious way toward future chaos and US instability. Look at our problems today. Rich people like Zuckerberg are determined by greed to SUCK the middle class DRY.
Thankfully, factual reality trumps "what you say"
