The Rise and Fall of America's Middle Class

America is bleeding out. Slowly, steadily. And it’s a self-inflicted wound. When NAFTA was signed, it set in motion decades of decline that have crippled American industry, gutted American towns, and robbed American citizens of their birthright - the simple dignity of providing for themselves and their families. But there’s a road back. Starting with denim blue jeans.

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

If you are properly prepared and knowledgeable, every crash/collapse/inflation or recession gives an equal market opportunity. I've seen folks amass up to $800,000 throughout crises and even do it with ease in a terrible economy. Without a doubt, someone has become enormously wealthy as a result of the crash.

I’m 30 years old, I became a truck driver locally to afford college without getting into debt. Got bored, joined the military, had some adventures away from home. Came back and picked up my keys where I left them. The towns. They don’t look the same. It’s like I’m driving through the skeleton of what America used to be. No one is rebuilding or even cleaning their homes outside of HOA and big technology cities. There’s no investment, there’s no future, there’s just houses rotting away and people drinking cheap beer.

Hopefully the local, state and federal government will not kill this company. May God be with you and yours.

I’ve been replacing my entire wardrobe with origin goods. I’ll pay more to keep my money in the United States.

Men , learn a trade . Build , service, repair something. If you go to a restaurant, eat at a local cafe, if your car needs and alternator or starter, get it from local overhaul shop . Source as much as you can from home .

This is by far the best you tube I've seen in a while. Thank you.

This is a message everyone can agree on regardless of their political status. CEO’s outsourcing their labor for lower costs at the expense of the American middle class is killing the quality of life for many Americans. Like they said in the video, outsourcing has made our goods cheaper but at the cost of the death of the middle class and the 1% owning everything. Like so many of our issues it’s not a left vs right issue but a class issue in this country. Also this country needs a union renaissance
-
The only way to reverse this trend is to accept to pay more for goods produced by well treated local workers

I grew up in a steel town that had a failed mill. Absolutely crushed the town and surrounding area, Origin this really hits home. I can’t thank you enough for restoring American manufacturing. 🇺🇸

I sincerely hope y'all are fairly compensating your video production team because holy smokes, this was good. I was hooked from start to finish. Keep it up Origin team.
