There is a DIRECT INVERSE RELATIONSHIP between the SIZE OF GOVERNMENT and the SIZE OF THE MIDDLE CLASS.

The smaller the government, the larger the middle class, The larger the government, the smaller the middle class.

That’s a fact, Jack.

#1 political job: cut 80% of the $4 trillion mostly unconstitutional federal government, put it into its constitutional cage, and KEEP IT THERE!

Yeah, I remember being part of the middle class. It was nice not having to constantly worry.

My father, bless his soul use to tell me, “The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class pays for it.”

Socialism is a two class society and Communism is when the rich socialists who thought they were the truly for the people are exterminated. These rich socialists are the ones the alligator eats last.

Here our factory workers are now personal care attendants paid for by the government.

Not eroding.

Being intentionally plowed under is more like it.

I read the linked article, and fully comprehend the points outlined, thank you. Question: Why? Why is this happening?

Social engineering by the left which is Leftist politicians over many years nudging the system in the direction that has caused that which we are concerned today.

“Thanks to the Political class this nation is on the rocks.”

And you can’t have a democracy without a strong middle class.

The dumbing down has had its desired effect. Alinsky model instituted.

Break down the family and social institutions so that people are atomized, and the state is all powerful because it has no rivals.

I got tired of feeding Obama’s beast, so went `mini-Galt’ (I was no captain of industry) a few years ago.
We manage to pay property taxes, insurance and bills, but I’m ready for Trump.
Obama has queered everything he touched, while metastasizing the national debt.
2017 and on will be better. Hang in there.

To me this whole “transgender” nonsense is just another fault line by which to divide people; it could have arisen at any time over the past eight years under our first “gay president”, but it was saved for now because Americans of all colors are uniting behind the Trump/Sanders movements (against the establishment). Now the establishment has to splinter the opposition along another front...
