Middle class is straight up vanishing

by

Chart shows it clear: lower and middle brackets got crushed since 1967, with $100k+ households exploding higher.
Everyday costs exploding, corporate profits at records, wages stuck flat for the bottom 80%.

$100k household now labeled “high income” in 2022 dollars?
People making 200k still sweating college, retirement, and basics in most cities.

This the squeeze turning normal families into borderline broke while the wealthy class balloons.
America’s backbone is getting hollowed out.
