Sorry if there's already a thread pertaining to this......Not meant as one of those "class warfare" threads. Just meant to shine a light on a a scenario that's becoming all too commonplace:

It hurts because it's a constant reminder of the couple's shattered dreams. The Bryants used to make $40,000, lived in their own home and gave to others. Now they live below the poverty line in the city with the widest income gap between rich and poor than anywhere else in the nation.
They're among the millions of Americans who fell out of the middle class.
I'm sure it will all work out for them once the economy gets better though (make sure your sarcasm detector is at full strength here).
