Democrats love to talk about how America’s middle class has disappeared. However, the latest census paints a very different picture. The results of the 24th census in U.S. history, which will be used for everything from where new schools and roads will be built to congressional redistricting, indicate that Americans are working and earning more than ever before.

How much more? Data shows the number of U.S. households that earned more than $100,000 annually has tripled in the past half century. The census research also underscored how important education and family are in determining earning power. These results make you wonder why the left is so determined to turn our country into a socialist nation of government handouts.
