the generation of americans that were in their earning prime years during the late 70s and the 80s were the lucky ones...and their kids are lucky, too. Those earners in that time frame were able to stash their earnings into nearly risk-free certificates, which over the years increased and doubled and doubled again. And now their children are inheriting that money.

We may never see the like of that financial boon again, at least not here in america.

Economic growth here in america now depends on population growth. And since americans are not having many children, the establishment is looking to bring in people from outside in order to obtain growth. However, some americans don't want this. It is the establishment vs the american majority on whether america will return to growth via population importation or whether we will go the way of japan. This is the new war.
