The Article: Many middle-class Americans plan to work until they die by Melanie Hicken in CNN Money.
The Text: Nearly half of middle-class workers said they are not confident that they will be able to save enough to retire comfortably, according to a Wells Fargo survey of 1,000 workers between the ages of 25 and 75, with household incomes between $25,000 and $100,000.

Driving these concerns is that many of the respondents said they simply can’t afford to pay their monthly bills and save for retirement at the same time.

And thus, the ever-incensed, keyboard-happy Internet community has taken to skewering Ted Cruz. And yes, the results are hilarious. Obviously.
