From The Atlantic: "The Secret Shame of Middle-Class Americans"

[mrteacher]

An article by author and college professor Neal Gabler has gathered quite a bit of attention over the last couple days. In the article, Gabler discusses the financial burdens saddled upon the average middle-class family in America. I have my own thoughts and critiques, but I wanted to post the article before posting my opinions: sometimes my reading of an article is shaped by a critique that I read beforehand.
