what if middleclass americans give up . and stop trying to be sucessful

many middleclass people are fed up, they may not try to to move up the economic latter anymore .. since thier wealth was robbed from them by wallstreet and big banks or taxed away from them for decades and thier jobs were ran over seas ... Once the population gets confortable with spending less and still being happy, then they do not go back to big spending patterns later .. I got to hand it to the Goverment . They finnally landed middleclass america under a huge bus .. maybe the Government will take a 4 year long vacation..
