We think of Third World countries as poor, but they're not. Visit Karachi, Cairo and Jakarta, or even Baghdad, Gaza, or even Kabul, and you'll see great riches and even greater poverty. The problem with income inequality isn't that CEOs make two million times what their employees do, it's that there's nothing in the middle.
The middle class makes a society, sane and livable. It gives people something to reach for rather than beating their wives or knifing their neighbors in the dark. The bourgeois is civilization. Without the middle class, there's barbarism, a crude hierarchy and the rule of force. ...
"We will get out energy from the sun," they declare. "Houses for the unhoused," they clamor. "Money is just an idea," they insist. "Crime is a social construct invented by white supremacy." And so on.
What happens when people lose their sense of meaning and purpose? They sit on the beach, look out into the ocean, blind themselves with gorgeous sunsets and go out of their minds. Sanity is a function of responsibility. We are only sane as the tasks we set ourselves. Sanity means getting up in the morning and knowing what you have to do and why you have to do it. It's also reality, maturity and adulthood.

That’s it in a nutshell.
It is a Cloward Priven strategy now followed by Klaus Schwab and his New World Order acolytes and oligarchs. Among his followers are Obama, Biden, Canada’s Justin Trudeau, every Head of State of the EU , including Britain. And it actually is the reason there is war between Ukraine and Russia. Zalensky is also a scion of Klaus Schwab and the New World order of Socialism brought on by “softer and gentler “ Fascists.
NATO has becme the operational military arm of the New World Order....it is no longer a defence pact, but a neo colonial power after what NATO did in Libya. That’s how Putin justifies his war and invasion of Ukraine, for Russia has little or no future of having a middle class it needs with a NWO economy in Europe run by leftist wet dream ideologues and greenies.
Getting rid of the political force exercised by the middle class is a multifaceted operation. Indoctrinate the youth to be happy with little, take away personal ambition and substitute recreational drugs, dimininsh small entrepreneurship as much as possible, raise taxes on the middle class to extraordinary levels, decimate the middle class with crime, destroy the patriotic institutions of the country so that the middle class will not serve in the military, divide Americans on issues of race, weaponize the FBI and the DOJ against the people,the list goes on and on.
And this is the ONE thing that Mitch McConnell steadfastly refuses to address, which is why he needs to go , for he himself acts JUST LIKE a supporter of Cloward Priven and the destruction of middle America.
That’s why we MUST elect a MAGA president in 2024 and hobble these leftist bastards on Nov. 8th. Parallel populist movements are on the rise in Europe, one just having won in Italy. These leftist bums need to be thrown out and Klaus Schwab made into persona non grata.
