After 80 years of prosperity, the middle class is now struggling to pay its bills.

In today’s piece, Robert Reich describes the fall of the middle class from the upper tier to the lower tier of America's two-tier economy. He charts the facts and figures, and the reasons why. Only the richest 10% of households (the “investor class”) now account for nearly half of total U.S. spending, thanks to the stock market surge. That could spell trouble.

Reich urges Democrats to show America that they can be better trusted to solve our economic woes - and lays out a 10-point plan to do just that.
