point about disposable income being the rise in insurance. Weather it be health, car, or home have all gone up faster than the average middle class salary. Which leads to less disposable income. Which leads to more debt. And that is just insurance rates. Could say that about most necessities.
As far as behavior, in the 70's you paid cash more often because you had more disposable income.
Is that what you call a rebuttal? Simply restating refuted claims?

There is not rebuttal to your misguided claim. You claim that because the middle class has a few luxury items they are better off.
I grew up in the all american middle class neighborhood in the 70's. Not one single family used a clothesline to dry their clothes. Every one of my friends had an Atari. Color television set in every bedroom.
If we use your measure for being better off, then there is very little poverty in this country.
