>The whole world's middle class is on the brink of ruin thanks to modern era politicians whose gluttony for easy money

I guess that depends on what you define as "middle class". The bottom 50% of people earn 15% of all income in the US. These people are struggling. Not sure I'd consider them "middle class" though.

On the other hand, the segment from median income to $100,000 is 50% of all income earned, and that figure is rising.
