For me it indicates that the American dream is basically dead or am I wrong. Also who do you blame government polices, the irresponsiblity of the American people or both.
This is not surprising as our economic system is set up to protect and reward the successful. It does not care for anyone that cannot afford to play the game. Hell, most of the people working for WalMart cannot afford to shop there let alone pay rent, own a clunker car to get to work or even feed themselves. We have armies of homeless people including families with kids. Some of those have working adults.
By contrast we have a billionaire running for President. This guy has bankrupted several times yet managed to keep his personal fortune while stiffing his investors. That is because the system protects him while robbing the rest of us. When a working class person gores bankrupt they loose everything to their creditors. Why not The Donald?
One example of this corrupt system is people on welfare cannot have bank accounts let alone savings. These people are excluded from the economy and never have a chance to rejoin because their saving anything would be illegal. We punish our poor and worship our thieves.
Our economy is not bankrupt but our morality certainly is. More people are outraged about a woman showing a nipple in public than care about giving the poor a chance.

i'm not totally disagreeing with you. However, personally I've see many times immigrants coming to this country with no money, no education, no nothing..And yet in a fews years they're living in a nice home, driving a nice car, etc..They may not be millionaires but there doing ok....How do you explain that?

"Working for Walmart" isn't successful. It's the bottom of the employee pyramid. People who actually earn money and save it aren't somehow the enemy you are making them out, they are everyone who understands economic principles. And those people in debt do include people who make more money then me, but then overspend in excess of their income thus putting them down on the list.
Trump used the laws on the books to insulate himself because a corporation has nothing to do with the individual in a legal sense.
Working class people don't lose everything. You file your BK and the court sells off your excess assets in most cases. Hell I know people that still had a house and expensive cars after they filed BK only to run up their debt like it was a video game score. I also know people that voted for the idiot we have in office now because he used government money to cover their mortgage debt. I don't agree with that nonsense at all, I hope you'll join me in condeming those who bought houses they couldn't afford.
Welfare people are on the public dole. If you have enough to cover a savings account then you shouldn't be taking from the community. That's not punishing, that's common sense. Would you keep giving me money if you found out I have $10,000 in savings and just bought an Xbox while you hand $200/wk to me to help with my bills? If you want a savings account, stop sitting on the public dole.
Our economy sucks, partly because people are idiots and partly because our elected official are elected by those same idiots who think the government exists to give them free stuff.

Hard work, and a willingness to live below their means for years to build a better future.
