Middle class culture, any culture, can only stand if it is rewarded. In prior times middle class culture was fundamentally supported by the upper classes, who invested in America, creating vast wealth.
They modeled sobriety, hard-work, risk and reward. The working classes modeled the behavior through church and labor guilds, standing together for each other and the nation.
The wealthy have abandoned America, and the working classes have abandoned faith, guilds, and each other. Into that void steps cultural anarchy.
Society requires hard-work, and discipline. It requires accountability, primarily of the wealthy. I tire of prose that lament the loss of culture without holding those accountable who have abandoned their responsibilities.

> affordability, but growing anger over inequality
When it comes to wealth, the ceiling should be unlimited AND the floor should be high.

I think this got killed by the mods. It has 46 points over 2 hours and isn’t on the front page anymore.
The number four story also has 46 votes and is 3 hours old.
