This story is bogus. Alienated my ass! From what? Please....everyone in this nation is facing the same problems, not just working class whites. Working class people of every race are staring down the barrel of a big ass gun. Gimme a break and cry me a darn river....and play me a big ass violin to boot.
This victim crap based on racial identity is media driven nonsense. "Pessimistic!" Good lord. Like the rest of us are having a freekin' festival over here.
Well I have a message for our "white blue collar" Americans! We minorties (I'm hispanic) know that our path to prosperity in the US is through higher education. One can eek out a living just having a high school education but that is no longer enough in today's world!
We place a very high value on education.
They have no one but themselves to blame. What did they think would happen after they allowed the Republicans to re-distribute our nation’s wealth from the middle class to the wealthy?
I am guessing that many of them believed that worst case scenario, they could all just open small businesses and deal with the hardest thing any business owner has to face - coming up with a way to keep from earning more than $250K every year. They have been told for decades by the right wing propaganda machine that trickle down would eventually work and they actually bought it.

O.K.
Then what is the alternative to hard work, sacrifice and gumption?
