EP 9 - Welfare State and the Middle Class

The middle class is over. It was a lie. We have the 1%...and then everyone else. Does this explain your life? My middle class life was actually working class, and why Archie Bunker still resonates as a folk hero today. Why "BIG" should be a swear word, from Big Government, to Big Unions, Big Education, and the world of Big Business. Your host Frank Simon has over 40 years of experience as a banker, stockbroker, owner of an income tax prep company, small business consultant, business form salesman, florist, award winning website designer (self-taught), convenience store manager, owner of a yard maintenance firm, and shelf stocker. Big or small, I've almost seen it all.
