Robert Reich explains why "Middle Class" is fed up

Robert Reich's recent piece in The Financial Times titled America's Middle Classes Are No Longer Coping was passed on via Truth Out. He hits one out of the park with:
The fact is, middle-class families have exhausted the coping mechanisms they have used for more than three decades to get by on median wages that are barely higher than they were in 1970, adjusted for inflation.
Exactly! Professor Reich is a gem. Hit the link to read of the three "coping mechanisms" and/or to learn if you and your spouse/partner are a DINS couple. If the bourgeoise are indeed at the end of their rope then perhaps true reforms can begin. P/W
