What racist stereotypes? If there are any around, they came out of your own sicko head.

That's how our US economy is skewed, and the average income doesn't tell the story of the average Joe's loss of earning and purchasing power.

Problem here is just the opposite. What you're calling "the average Joe" might better be described as "Bob at the bottom". And sure, the bottom doesn't move a whole lot - though I bet Bob & his family probably have cell phones, a 40-inch flat-screen TV or two, a couple hundred channels of cable...
The economy isn't your bimodal distribution with lots of low-wage jobs leavened with a few multi-millionaires. There are a whole lot of people living closer to the average than your Joe Sixpack. Who do you think buys all those new cars? If it was just millionaires, everyone but BMW & Porsche would be out of business.
