I know it is difficult for some Americans to see it because many Americans have grown up with the idea that in America anybody that works hard can achieve all of his or her dreams. But the sad truth is that the United States is not that big country where dreams come true anymore. Today the under class is growing, the middle class is disappearing, and with it the American dream. The economic inequality in the United States is creating what Karl Marx defined as “Class Conflict,” a revolution between classes, where the rich and powerful one percent has the power and the control over the country, and the 99%, the working middle class, is fighting against a system that only helps and rewards those that are already in the top of the social class.Linda Spectornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-89635430620595654482011-10-27T07:19:07.998-04:002011-10-27T07:19:07.998-04:00I never thought about it from a stand point that a...I never thought about it from a stand point that a wholoe class could be literally erased. But if you think about it from a common sense standpoint it does make sense that those who were wealthy would more than likely be in a far more stable situation than those who are considered middle class or even below the poverty line. That would probably validate the saying the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.Clarence Parlernoreply@blogger.com
