"turning the vast majority of humanity into livestock, which is where we’re headed"

We have just become sheep to be sheared by the IRS.

[Hattie]

As long as we remain unrepresented in Washington, the true American middle class is suffering, paying for the upper and the lower classes. Only a clean out of the current false Republicans in Congress can save our Country.

[Telepathic Intruder]

The ideal utopian society in the eyes of the elite is a small ruling class which owns all the wealth and a large working class that is totally dependent on the ruling class. A middle class messes all that up.

[TheElectionWasStolen]

The working class is just as big a target as the middle class. Kill the producers.

[Orosius]

It’s the restoration of feudalism and serfdom in all but name, which is the end goal of communism as well.

Think.....The Hunger Games.

[Gay State Conservative]

Even when assuming that the Republican Party was once the party of the rich and elite ( I'm not sure if that's true) the fact is that *today* it's made up of the middle class and the working class. The elite,the welfare parasites,the payroll patriots and the perverts long ago joined the Rat Party.

Kill off the middle class and the working class and you have a one party state reminiscent of East Germany and North Korea.

Because Deep State has learned from history.

A healthy, growing, upwardly mobile middle class is the greatest threat to it.

[Alberta's Child]

One thing I've always considered is the possibility that the "middle class" is nothing more than a temporary feature of modern democratic societies and cannot exist without the support of a massive, intrusive government built on fiscal irresponsibility.

There's a reason why a "middle class" was never the norm for thousands of years of human history.

Wasn’t it a head of Boeing years ago who said, “From the neck down, minimum wage.”?

[KarlInOhio]

Whenever anyone talks if the middle class shrinking or being destroyed, I ask them to define the middle class and give income and percentages of the population in each class.

Often the numbers used the "destruction" is that the bell curve of income is being spread out so that the middle class is losing population to both the rich and the poor.

[griswold3]

The so called elites ,or as David Brooks likes to call himself “The Expert Class”, are using the latest ‘thing’ to make themselves gods.
thwart their plans by not complying. We should be savvy enough to come up with a parallel system (like the criminal class) to avoid them Their demise comes when they overreach. History

[skeeter]

Perhaps the elimination of the middle class is intentional.

Who needs alot of stakeholders in the current system hanging around consuming and expecting to be heard?

[antidemoncrat]

History of countries consumed by totalitarianism:

Destroy middle class

Disarm law abiding citizens

Sound familiar?

[PGR88]

Very interesting article - not what I expected.

I did not realize that average IQs in the USA had started to decline. Not surprised, really.

Nevertheless, you will die one day, and then comes judgment. Hebrews 9

[sergeantdave]

This moron just discovered that intellectuals and the money class work together. Everyone clap.

[PerConPat]

The dominant passion for control is in play for more than enough humans to keep the world in a huge supply of Clintons, Pelosis, Bushes etc...And dire circumstances are necessary to break their hold on the masses unable or unwilling to understand our God-given rights.

I don't see the middle class voting its way out of this mess, until things get worse than they are now..Hope I am wrong.

[CodeToad]

Because the elites only need the lower class and a few smart people to keep them alive and serve them. The rest of us are expendable.
