    I am not better off but I know who to blame

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     EWillies1961 says he is not better off than four years ago because of the systemic change that has happened in the economy. "With professional jobs now being outsourced, we have a lot of small businesses that have tanked. When you start downsizing wages and opportunities for the middle class, the economy fails. When you have wealth and income migrating to the top, the economy becomes unsustainable," he says. "The economy is a big issue. Only when the middle class understands in an unbiased manner that which ails our economy will real change occur."
    - Anika3, CNN iReport producer

    I doubt if anyone but those in the top 1% would say they are better off. In an extractive economy like we have most of us are losers. The media is then used to put the “have some” against the “have little” against the “have none”.  I wrote a blog titled “Obama Has A Republican Economy. Romney’s Would Be A Republican Economy On Steroids”
