1) Our Economy Has Had 300+ Years of Success

Warren Buffett Riles Against
Slow Growth Politicians and Media

"That [1.2% per capita growth rate]
may not sound impressive,
but in a single generation of, say, 25 years,
that rate of growth
leads to a gain of 34.4% in real GDP per capita."
Berkshire's Buffett

Editor's Note: My study of the economic of education began in 1989 and only in early 2016 did I learn of these long-term tests which seldom change. Educator's looking for funding have a set of test that change frequently and U.S. students do poorly on these ever more difficult tests. Prejudice for causes more harm than prejudice against as it can be seen and overcome.

3) A Bigger GDP Pie Goes to Rich and Poor

Income Distribution is a Political Question.
	1971	2012
Upper Tier Up	14%	20%
Middle Tier Down	61%	51%
Lower Tier Up	25%	29%
Total	100%	100%
Note: Real GDP pie has grown a lot so middle income is up just not as much. Depending on where the stock market is; the top can vary a lot. Remember liars, dame liars, and all data users?. Middle Class: A Candle Burning at Both Ends

4G's Cause Middle Class Discontent

People wanting a different distribution should vote accordingly but many voters have more important needs. For many protecting Guns and God are most important. For many decision makers Greed of business, retirees ... rules while Government employees including politicians vote based on career possibilities.

5) Good News! Well-Being Which Is
Much More Important Than Market Income is Up

1) Our society's stability has allowed U.S. productivity
    to consistently increase which is a key to individual
    well-being. Think how the public safety net has
    increased since the 1930's and the success of
    the federal children's bureau. Who wants to give
    up SS and Medicare? Why do some always want
    to cut the other guys government benefits? Think
    economic distress in Russia, Europe,
    and even Japan and Germany.

2) Scientific achievements have continuously
     added to citizen well-being. Think public health,
     smart phones, streaming audio-video, Gillette
     Stadium ... See Health Problems Solved

3) Personal Income which is a function of nature
    and nurture has increased continuously if
    not always rapidly. Think Russia, China, and
    Europe's really slow recovery from the Great
    Recession. Sources Economic Wellbeing and

We need hope for the next generation by having faith the our
Democratic, Capitalist, Federalist, Republican society will figure it out.
