Karl Marx HATED the middle class.
He HATED them.
The Communist Manifesto is a how too for getting rid of the middle class.
But go listen to any Obama/Warren/Sanders/Pelosi/Reid speech and all you’ll hear is “we need this Marxist idea to help the middle class” and “we need that Marxist idea to help the middle class.”
And middle class Marxists keep voting for it. :)
And the young people, too. Those “heads full of mush” get indoctrinated into socialism in grammar and high schools and it continues in colleges. Academia is what? 90% liberal? Gotta be that more or less these days. Maybe less in the rural, older teachers.
In liberal/progressive households they start in as soon as the kids can understand words. Sesame Street, Barney, the homosexual rainbows and triangles, they start brainwashing them early. The ones they don’t abort, that is.
And the children don’t know any better, they learn what they are taught. Oil is bad. Windmills are good. Don’t point your finger. You have to share your school supplies in a communal pool. I know dozens of people who are convinced the earth is warming, ice is melting, seas are rising and polar bears are drowning. And they will believe that until they die no matter what, no matter how cold it gets in the coming decades of solar minimums.
And all the while the middle class is being destroyed as you say. Turned into government needing serfs, working low-paying jobs if they work at all.
This is a big election, as they all are. There is much to do to roll back the socialist/Godless excesses of the progressive liberals. We need Trump/Cruz or one or the other to be elected next November.
