Yep, it was definitely that and not the decline of the material well-being of the working class due to things such as bailing out Wall Street while letting millions of average Americans eat #### in 2008, 40+ years of neoliberal fiscal policy leading to extreme wealth inequality, complete dismantling of social safety nets, and almost total regulatory capture by corporations.
