The US was once home to the picture-perfect American dream. A house, a car, and a job symbolized the middle class as the core of a prosperous country. Yet for an increasing amount of Americans some or all of these are now out of reach.
?This country was founded on the ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. How can you be happy if you can?t pay your rent? How is this American in any shape or form?? asked journalist and activist Mike Elk.
The new America is littered with millions of homes lost and abandoned with the unemployed officially numbered at over 13 million still queuing to get a job. Does this mean the middle class is disappearing in the US?



?America has gone from being the most egalitarian nation back in the 1960s and early 70s, to now, where the gap between the rich and the poor is the widest in the United States than any of the industrialized nations. So, by every index the middle class is dead in America,? said trends forecaster Gerald Celente.
