On the recordJune 9, 1997
I have been arguing for the better part of 2 years now that when we talk about American culture and what is happening in the American family, we tend to point fingers to who is causing the trouble, and Hollywood gets a pretty good dose of it. But I don't think Hollywood holds a candle to Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam has put so much economic pressure on the working families that it has dramatically changed the nature of the way these families function. It goes on to say: It is increasingly common for all adult family members to spend a greater number of hours at work in order to make up for declining median family incomes to fulfill personal career goals or to cater to growing workplace demands. Again, I would argue, that while the median family income has declined, the biggest culprit in absorbing those median income salaries is the Government.
