GROWING THE CALIFORNIA MIDDLE CLASS
January 2, 2010
As an independent, I believe the breadth and depth of the American middle class has always been one of our country's greatest strengths. It is one of the pillars of political and economic stability in the U.S.
All of the immigrants to California and the U.S. will play a role in the future of the American middle class. In the past 10 years or so, since the late 1990's, places like Los Angeles County have seen many formerly poor, struggling immigrants begin to reach middle class status in growing numbers.
The larger and stronger our middle class grows, the more California and the U.S. will be able to avoid the class struggles that we see and read about in other countries.
