Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito. Cur ante tubam tremor occupat artus? Fortiter in re, suaviter in modo.

  • I watch and hear programs about the declining middle class and think to my self if only people would realize one idea. The idea being the "middle" class that existed before the collapse of 2008 was not even the middle class. The so called middle class was created when big banks decided they could trick the working class into thinking they were middle class. The banks allowed the people to borrow into the middle class. Once the bubble burst people were sent back to the correct class. People thought if they borrowed enough you could climb the ladder to a better life. Adjustable home loans were a great idea for tricking the working class. To often the lender would say "you can afford the house and the interest is low" when in reality the person could not afford the house and the interest was high.

    I have an example of a bubble American her name is Lisa, she is married to a man named John, and they have a child named Peter. Lisa and John brought their house in a nice part of town with lots of green grass and children running around. They had new cars and a great life or so they thought. Peter had all the new toys and the family went on vacations every year. They built an addition onto their house with money that got when Lisa's aunt died. Lisa was a Physical therapist and saw children. John worked as a teacher in a high school and coached hockey and baseball at the school. Lisa had new clothes every season. John had season tickets to a hockey team every year. Peter and John decided to take out a loan on their house. After living the good life for a few years, their life collapsed one day. The credit cards were maxed out and they could not make the payments on their house. The house was seized by the bank and the family was kicked out. John divorced Lisa and went on to a great life. Lisa still lives beyond her means and Peter still gets all the things he wants. John on the other hand saved money and moved to a new town, John now has a new house and new wife and child that live within there means. Lisa with her false hope of being in the middle class caused her life and family to fall apart.

    The middle class label has been trade marked by big banks and companies. The middle class is no longer a class where you have work to get their, but rather borrowing money allows you to join the ranks. The real middle class include well educated people who as doctors and other such jobs. People were reckless and that caused the working class to become the poor class. No longer could a working class person afford a house. The actions of a few caused the suffering of the many. To return to a better economy people need to realize life is more than things, pay for things ahead of time, and sometimes just sometimes buy a something they want.
