An Improving Economy Is A Not So Obvious Danger To The Middle Class

[egbertowillies]

The danger of an improved economy is that Americans have been down for so long that they may accept this new floor, this new normal, for the middle class.

1. We haven't even scraped the bottom...

...of the "new normal."
This "improving economy" is just a slight and temporary uptick on our way to the Dystopia of the Super-Rich owning the entire planet and everyone and everything on it.
Just wait until the Great Culling begins...

2. "The New Economy" propoganda

On TV, I'm constantly bombarded with the ugly phrase. Whether it is used by for-profit schools, or rent-to-own furniture places, the message is the same.

"You WILL pay more and you WILL get less. So get used to it. We run the show, and you are just a stagehand."

Every time I hear that phrase "the new economy", I think that those who resign themselves to saying "oh well, that is just the way it is..." pretty much deserve the scraps thrown to them by the corporate machine.

I vote with my wallet, which right now I think is the only way to have a say in this capitalistic olicharchy.

Screw you new economy. We deserve more!

3. Oh for god's sake.

The "danger" of an improving economy? That has to be the dumbest thing I have seen today.
