THE SHRINKING MIDDLE CLASS I 51
\VhyGetRich?
We want to encourage you to become rich because America and many
other countries are becoming two class societies - rich or poor, classes or
masses. One reason: Ifyou do not decide to become rich, the chances are you
will become poor. In Western nations, the middle class is disappearing -
slowly, surely and catastrophically. Ifyou want to remain in the middle class,
you may need to consider living in China or India. Rather than squeezing
out their middle classes,China and India aregrowingtheir middles classes.
In America and other Western nations, however, the choice is becoming
limited to '" be rich or be poor. The middle class is disappearing the same
waythe polar ice caps are disappearing - slowly, surely and catastrophically.
However, people in China and India's middle class often aren't livng any
better than many American poor people. So you might aswell decide to get
rich in America.
Donald's View
The Shrinking Middle Class
When Robert and I were talking about the shrinking middle class,
it made me aware that some things can be explained. It's like an
hourglass with the middle class the pinched part, or like someone
with a very small waistline.
