However, I do wish to put forth a unifying idea here.

The same fears I saw growing the the 70s and 80s among industrial workers is now growing among white-collar, college educated workers.

Let's get real.  The average 4-year college grad is on the firing line job-wise.  This is the Stran Steel story of this decade.  Their jobs are being outsourced as fast as the blue-collar worker of previous decades.

I have no explanation for why I saw what was coming, but I can tell you:  I was right.

I say this, too.  Without a middle-class?  Whether you work in a cubicle or a factory?

America is truly gone.

If the "creative" class honestly imagines that they have much to offer?

Go read the contributers to Huffington Post.  

Honestly, 90% is hack stuff.  Poorly thought out.  Poorly written.

We have no real creative class to offer the world right now.

That's fantasy.

We either rebuild the middle class, or we go down the tubes.
