i didn't say that you are on the streets not to mention that these people exist ,but is that here at least wages are low and who is getting richer while others are the extreme .

Actually no.
Census data shows that all income groups have been gaining ground, not losing it, over time.
The poor and middle class are making 11% to 15% more than a generation (20 years) ago. That is real income after inflation's effects has been factored in. Over the last 10 years, it's a 5% to 8% gain.
Of course, these are national averages. Certain areas of the country are doing worse than others. Perhaps you are in one of those areas.

No, I don't agree. I'm not rich, and I'm not on the street...I owe a huge debt, but am making money, and have reserves to pay if necessary...so I can't agree with your statement. The DIVIDE between rich and middle class has grown, sure. But I don't think the divorce is SO complete that I count myself poor, just under stress from lower wages now.

indeed there is a tremendous amount of wealth,and working poor,and homeless poor.
however the middle class still exists rather more close to the working poor.
