A new report finds the bottom 60% of U.S. households—or *two-thirds* of the population—can't afford a “minimal quality of life": housing, health care, and other necessities.
"Indicators like GDP and unemployment tell us the economy is thriving. But they don’t reflect the reality of most Americans."
Based on statistics I am well into the top ~10% - I have no problem putting food on the table or getting the occasional dinning out treat but still have to carefully plan any house repair and vacation trip. I can't imagine how it is for the ones in the 50 or 30% bracket. Tax the rich
