Is China the only place with a growing middle class? (last ten years or so)

I expect India as well, as they are projected to overtake China in size of population before long. For the rest of the industrialized world (America, Europe) you have the boomer effect that is trending the population down overall, which would reduce the middle class numbers, as an additional effect.

Interestingly, aside from New Orleans bouncing back and forth between Rep and Dem since the civil war....the others have been Dem strongholds for 50+ years. Coincidence?

And, to CH's point about shithole cities of America.....we could add NYC, Baltimore, San Fran, and perhaps LA. I love most of these places, but they are unarguably some of the worst in America for safety and taking care of the locals.

Deff not a coincidence, IMO. haha, Those few cities will fit in there just fine, thats for sure!
 
In America, color doesn't define your future, but it does play into your opportunities and statistical likelihood of rising above your circumstances.

FACT

Thank you chris. Gun violence is an inner-city violence problem for the most part but gun control laws aren't primarily the issue. IT's a bandaid that isn't working.

WE NEED LESS PEOPLE

We need to quit widening the income inequality gap. We also need less people but we could have less people and keep on the current track we're on and still have an inner city problem. We need to bring back the middle class, but we're choking it out.

I respect your opinion, but I disagree 100%. :)

Maybe you can give me some examples of how two "middle-class people" (white and black) DONT have the same opportunities? (I just picked "middle class" randomly ... you can use "lower class" if you'd like) ... BOTH have the opportunity to go to school. BOTH have the opportunity to do well IN school. BOTH have the opportunity to obtain scholarships (black people actually have scholarships, just for being a minority... while white people don't .. random example). Minorities actually have "affirmative action", possibly giving them MORE opportunities, because of it (for education and employment).


If you want to do well in the country, YOU are the only person stopping it from happening.

FACT ;) ^^^
