That is just one example, the truth is that American society has many such "middleman looters" which exploit the system for gain at the expense of the middle and working classes. A few examples: * Student loan industry / higher education debt * Unaffordable housing and exploitative renting due to NIMBY building practices * Police ticketing as a revenue stream for municipal tax authorities All of this either didn't exist for their parents, or were not as severe. All of this adds up to a middle class which has significantly less than their parents.
