This quick graphics page by The Nation shows all too clearly the impact of the fallen economy on the people of this country. If anything this should serve as a wakeup call that it's time to revamp the "American Dream" and realize that no longer is it the case that if you work hard and apply yourself you can rise out of your socioeconomic class or acheive wealth. Unchecked corporatism has made us all virtually slaves to consumerism. That needs to change, and only we can change it.
