You have clearly drunk the Republican kool-aid friend. The concentration of wealth is at unprecedented levels. The wealthiest 1% have 40% of the wealth. The wealthiest 20% have 90% of the wealth. The rest of Americans - 80% - have 10% of the nations wealth. But take a closer look at the low end. The least wealthy 20% are in debt and the next 20% have less than 1% of America's wealth. Even in the article you quote, there is no attempt to say the Pew research is inaccurate, they say the middle class is "healthy " by literally changing the definition of middle class (the ever popular, if you don't like the narrative, change it technique) to mask the skewed wealth distribution. This is not the place but if you want me to PM you source material more reliable than a magazine for rich people I'd be happy to.


This is ridiculous what does poverty have to do with divorce rate. Even the richest of the richest people are also having divorce. Indeed poverty is a problem in itself and may be a contributing factor to divorce. However, to say that the rate of poverty in the USA is poverty is totally out of the question.

Most emerging and developing countries have a conservative cultures which shy away from taboo conversation such as divorce. Most of the women in these countries not just india are homemaker without their own source of income. It is not as easy for them to gain divorce even when they are not satisfied by the marriage that bound them. If desi and south asian or other conservative countries do not have such cultures and demographic we would seeing hike of divorce rates.
