15 Shocking Poverty Statistics That Are Skyrocketing As The American Middle Class Continues To Be Slowly Wiped Out - BlackListed News: "The 'America' that so many of us have taken for granted for so many decades is literally disintegrating right in front of our eyes. Most Americans are still operating under the delusion that the United States will always be 'the wealthiest nation' in the world and that our economy will always produce large numbers of high paying jobs and that the U.S. will always have a very large middle class.
