You sound like one of those crazy guys in the movies who walks around with a sign around his neck that says "The end is near."

Better than ever? That's factually incorrect. The majority of Americans were better off in the late 70's. Median wealth has been declining.

I challenge you to find a single source backing up that assertion. Even the most pessimistic show that median household wealth has stayed flat since the 70s. None show it declining.
