Middle-Class Dream (IS) Not American Dream

Middle of Nowhere

Real or Just an Illusion

Now, here is the rest of the story. The middle class (which is actually the credit class) is an invention that generates wealth for those on top and serves as a buffer or a kind of protection against those on the bottom rung of the social and economic ladder. It is an artificial class supported by the credit industry. There can be no other logical reason for it to exist. And because there is no foundation in financial reality it is just a tool to be used when the job calls for it. If the lower class is getting restless, call out the middle class; when more money is needed at the top, you do the same. The so-called middle class has been led to believe that they can live the American dream with hard work and determination. But what happens when the credit runs out? We are now finding out what that means.

Middle Class (Real Name Credit Class)

You are on your way to the poor house. You have been deceived by the credit monster. It does not whisper; it shouts that you can have it all. Just make sure you keep a good credit score and some kind of a job. With the strategy fully in place, the money handlers aimed to change the mindset from saving for what you can afford to spend what you do not have way of thinking.

To keep it all going, the marketers keep the consumer goods* dangling in front of our eyes. With the same old slogans ringing in our ears: you must have, you cannot do without, new and improved. And when the economy falters, as it inevitably will, it all comes tumbling down for those who were really never up. It was all just an illusion; now you see me. Now you do not.

*Consumer goods are products purchased for consumption by the average consumer. Alternatively called final goods, they are the end result of production and manufacturing and are what a consumer will see on the store shelf. Clothing, food, automobiles, and jewelry are all examples of consumer goods.
