the secondwhat I call the flattening of the worldis a metaphor for the rise of middle-class citizens, from China to India to Brazil to Russia to Eastern Europe, who are beginning to consume like Americans.
And there in a nutshell, is why the left will maintain a constant war against the middle class. A strong, independent minded international middle class does not beg for government dependence and handouts at every turn, and does not vote for candidates who espouse such.
The fact that the middle class can freely consume goods and resources which should be left as bountiful and abundant for the elites ONLY, really irritates them. More paupers worldwide, means more for them.

I agree ... but if he sucks in the middle class then he’ll have the 60% he craves dependent on GOVERNMENT.
