Also from the original article - "Once upon a time, the United States had the largest and most thriving middle class in the history of the world. That was a great thing. But now the middle class is being destroyed and government dependence has surged to an all-time high."

And we are not talking about the >90% peasant class in the past, these are the 50% 'paid idle poor'.
