Would yesterday have been better? Americans feel their lives are not as good as they were 50 years ago

The latest survey results from the Pew Research Center in the United States show that Americans feel their lives are not as good as they were 50 years ago.

The American Market Watch website reported on the 17th that the Pew Research Center conducted the above-mentioned survey on nearly 43,000 people in more than 30 countries around the world this spring. Among them, most citizens in Vietnam, India, South Korea, Germany, Turkey, the Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Spain and other countries believe that their lives are better than they were 50 years ago.

However, Americans don’t think so.

Those surveyed who shared the same sentiments as Americans included those in Senegal, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Brazil, France, Hungary, Lebanon and Peru.

Pew Research Center analyzes that in Europe, populists may be more obsessed with the past than those who do not support the political views of right-wing parties.

The Pew Research Center believes that in the United States, the wealthy seem to be leaving the middle class behind.

A report released by the American Urban Institute in June last year stated that the middle-class income in the United States accounted for 26% in 2014. Adjusted for inflation, this ratio was 46% in 1979.

Survey results released by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board in September this year showed that although the U.S. economic recovery has begun to benefit the lower-income groups, the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen.

The report found that the proportion of income and wealth held by the richest households reached the highest level since 1989. In 2016, the income share of the richest 1% of households increased to 23.8%, compared with 20.3% in 2013. The income share of households in the bottom 90% dropped to 49.7%, the lowest level ever recorded in this survey.

US President Donald Trump is vigorously promoting tax reform. Economists and analysts generally believe that this tax reform may further widen the gap between rich and poor and worsen the financial situation of the US government.
