(15,339 posts)What it means is that we've watched our wages drop, our pensions be flattened, or worse, stolen, home ownership go down, student debt go up, trillions spent on wars and domestic spying, the Bill of Rights basically go down the toilet, hundreds of thousands of jobs lost at the altar of 'free' trade, massive amounts of wealth and income flowing to fewer and fewer people, the infrastructure deteriorating, unions systematically busted, massive privatization, including of prisons, racism growing again, corporate money buying our elected officials, corporations no longer bothering to pay taxes, and carbon emissions hastening disastrous climate change. The American middle class is nearly dead, and we who were once the world's light on the hill have now become feared as the world's biggest threat to peace.
If that's incremental change, then the Third Way is the WRONG way!
