America is an oligarchic plutocracy. But it will be okay for a couple more decades, I think. The best jobs to be in are probably government jobs, as they are the slowest to change.

I'd encourage people to go visit other countries where there is virtually no middle class and one might get a glimpse of things to come. I don't think it will be full on Thunderdome, but things may be very different in fifty years. Of course, things were very different fifty years ago, so maybe this is just the natural progression.
