idk i wanna know too

seriously some one should answer this

It was farmers, while a thriving middle class enjoyed whatever newfangled gadgets and conveniences its hard-earned money could buy, the nations wealth was concentrated at the very top. A third of the country's income went to just 5 percent of families, while the bottom 42 percent struggled to earn subsustence-level wages. Farmers endured hard time in the 1920s because the government had paid farmers high prices for a ton of things like wheat, corn and other crops. After the war when prices fell and the government contracts ended many farmers went from prosperity into debt. You're welcome =)

Now, why did the middle and upper classes thrive, exactly?
