"And I find it surprising how few people seem to care that our lower wage earners are losing ground, and can or can't make ends meet. It drags down the whole country, in my opinion."

Does it ever. It is like when AmyJ was commenting on how much safer she felt in that other country. I'll bet money that country had a much narrower gap between the rich and the poor, and percentage-wise, has a larger middle class than we do. Such countries tend to have a much lower rate of violent crime than we do. People who are safely middle class just don't resort to violence as much.
