U.S. of A: the United Serfdom of America. The Census Bureau’s American Community Survey highlights a poignant breakdown of class strata in this country: The typical D.C. household income rose 23.3% between 2000 and 2012; while the average across the U.S. dropped 6.6%. The American dream has morphed into a voter(serf)/politician(master) reality that threatens to ruin US all. On the bright side, the new iPhone looks great and you never bought a baseball team for $100 million, only to never see them play in person.
