-Part 1, Question #1: What is happening to the middle class? According to the film "Inequality for all". Most of the American society constitutes to the middle class, they make between $40,000 and $100,000 a year. What is happening is that middle class are struggling, the economy is facing difficulties and middle class are the most affected by this situation. At this moment, we are living in a economic inequality because the poor get poorer and the rich get even richer, but the problem is that middle class is always going to be in the same term "middle". Their incomes have stayed the same or even dropped. It is harder for those families to mantain a living, they work jobs that don't pay enough for their needs, health insurance and educational costs are going up every day.

Part 1, Question 1: The middle class is shrinking in size because of rising living costs, jobs moving offshore, and an increase in debt and taxes. Some parents are working full time jobs, and are still struggling to make ends meet. For a while, there was a large housing boom, and home owners were able to, essentially, take out money from their house. As value went up, so did the check from the bank. However, when the housing crash happened, very few were able to pay back what they had taken out, and as a result, those who didn't lose their house, lost their savings and went into debt trying to keep their house. This happened to a lot of middle class families, and thus, were almost wiped out and placed in poverty because a system that they believed was working, failed. The "middle class" families had to start taking out loan after loan to pay for taxes (which had risen), education, insurance, medical care, and even food and water in some cases. As more loans go out, interest rates go up, and it becomes harder and harder to pay them back. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!. In regards to jobs, as we are now technologically advanced, it is easy to ship goods from one country to another, no matter how great the distance between the two is. This leads to a loss in local jobs as in many instances, it is much cheaper to have items manufactured abroad and shipped to the US than it is to simply make them here at home. All of these factors combined drowned the middle class and made it almost non-existent, increasing the gap between the higher class and the lower class.
