One of the behaviors that the Lord hated the children of Israel doing the most was complaining. Virtually EVERYONE in America, (yes I'm sure there are miniscule exceptions) is in the Global 5% of wealthiest citizens of the planet, and HUGE majority of Americans are in the Global 1% of wealthiest.
What is somebody's idea of "middle class"? Ask someone in Haiti and they will tell you EVERYONE on the OTHER side of Hispaniola, The Dominican Republic is middle class compared to themselves. Now I haven't been to Haiti, but I know those who have. I have been to The Dominican Republic and I can tell you that most of the Pop live in what we would consider true abject poverty. NOT "American" poverty.
I'm betting most here qualify for being in the 1% of wealthiest people in the World.

And what has allowed America to be as prosperous as it is? (yes. I know ultimately it is the Lord)
CAPITALISM!!!!! Governed by our Constitution. I know there is a huge indoctrination effort to put in place the exact failure that has plagued most of the rest of the modern World, that has led to such awful misery.
SOCIALISM!! Under the guise of many noble sounding names like "income inequality" and "Social Justice".
DON'T fall for it people! Don't be jealous and covet what others have. Look to the incredible blessings the Lord has given YOU!
