Nothing could be more reactionary than noticing this:

In 1988, the typical American adult was 40 years old, white and married, with a high school diploma. If he was a man, he probably worked full time. If she was a woman, she probably didn’t.
Twenty-five years later, Americans are older, more diverse and more educated. We are less likely to be married and more likely to live alone. Work is divided more evenly between the sexes. One thing that hasn’t changed? The income of the median U.S. household is still just under $52,000.

It's from an article here titled "The American Middle Class Hasn't Gotten a Raise in 15 years"

What is likely to be the American Ruling Class's way of solving this problem? Moar Immigration! Moar Free Trade! Moar Gay Marriage! Moar War!
