The Myth of the Middle Class

In pop culture, video on May 13, 2008 at 5:23 pm

Interesting report by Reason TV on living large as the middle class.

And because of wonky WordPress, I can only post the link to the video.

In “Living Large,” Drew Carey and reason.tv examine the plight of the American middle class. What do they find? That we are better off than we think.

I was expecting to be vindicated in my middle-class woes. But I was surpised to find out that relative to American economic history, we seem to have it made.

  1. Great video, but don’t you think we’ve lost a bit of quality in all the quantity?

  2. I thought the quote “It’s not the high cost of living, it is the cost of living high” is very telling.

    We try to teach our kids that it is not about having the most or having the best. Our society teaches the exact opposite – remember the bumper sticker from a few years ago – “He who dies with the most toys wins”
