Summary:
How scapegoat politics is dividing America and bankrupting the middle classThe size and stability of the American middle class was once the envy of the world. But changes unleashed in the 1960s pitted Americans against one another politically in new and destructive ways--while economically, everyone fell behind except the wealthy.Right-wing culture warriors blamed the decline on the moral shortcomings of "other" Americans--blacks, feminists, gays, immigrants, union members --to court a fearful white working and middle class base with ever more bitter "us" vs. "them" politics. Liberals tried but.
