Well, this is poverty. Vote GOP and they'll help you achieve it!
but also ironically the stereotypical american dream was only feasible for a short time thanks to the work of unions, which would be decried as horrible communists in modern america, and frankly the whole concept has a lot of socialist undertones in general which people love to ignore.
It was thanks to strong union movements that people had such wealth, ever since the unions got beaten into a pulp workers have been paid less and less and at this point the idea of one dude supporting a spouse and 3 kids is fucking hilarious.
I literally know hundreds of families with more kids than that and a spouse without any income, and I'm one of them. These are construction workers, small business owners (trades), union electricians and the like, engineers, accountants, etc. They live in modest homes in outer suburbs or rural areas. They/I live pretty frugally of course, but saying it's impossible or "hilarious" is simply wrong. I don't know what to tell you, except that its just not true.
