Their core problem is the progressive income tax.

So that LB knows this still has something to do with politics, I looked the book up on Amazon, and noted 2 different reviews below... but again, I'll mention that the amount of taxes now vs then is significant. amazon.com >>>>>>>>Warren and Tyagi offer a compelling analysis of the reasons behind middle-class financial crises. Simplified, they argue: (1) Famillies want to live near quality school districts so their children can get good educations, go on to college and be successful; (2) Houses and taxes in those districts cost a lot of money; (3) To make ends meet, the wife takes a job that doesn't just contribute extras -- it puts food on the table; and therefore (4) When the "principal breadwinner," usually the husband, loses his job or a crisis develops, the family has no safety net. In earlier times, argue the authors, the wife didn't work and the family ran on a single-income budget. So when the wife took a job, her income was new weath, partly replacing a husband's lost income.<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>While I certainly recommend reading there book I also want you to consider a real and immediate solution. We currently have 750,000 H1B foriegn workers in this country, working jobs while their American counterparts are either unemployed or underemployed. We have also allowed nearly 1 million jobs to be off shored in the last three years. By deporting the H1B workers and insisting on recovering all of these offshored jobs much of the problems that Warren and Tyagi discuss could be greatly minimized. Write your Congressman and insist that this be done immediately. The future of the middle class hangs in the balance. Professor Hemp www.newagecitizen.com <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
