The median family income in the U.S.A. is stagnant at about $45,000. Meanwhile the prices of many of the basics this family needs or wants - a house to live in, gas for the car, a college education for their otherwise career-doomed children - continue to skyrocket up out of reach. Do you think the median voter actually thinks of himself as "upwardly mobile"?
