from the article:
There are specific economic forces that will continue to hold the middle class down, says Hess.
Here are some of the events and trends that he sees working together to create a middle-class slide: the export of technical jobs and the continued unemployment of many American tech workers; the squeeze on state economies that will result in higher state taxes, fewer state services, and higher-priced state educations; the triple threat of high health-care costs, high debt burdens and continued weak stock prices and battered portfolios.
As a result, even the upper-middle class is starting to downscale spending habits and life style.

Hess is correct.

Add to that the professional multi-generational permanent unemployed classes, criminals, and/or non-tax paying illegal aliens and you have a blueprint for moral, ethical, and economic bankruptcy.

It is hard to put the toothpaste back in that California tube, and now in NYC, ex-Dim and 5 Billionaire+ Mayor Bloomberg is raising taxes, fees, banning activities, and increasing social benefit programs all at once.

Unlike a liberal Bill Gates, who at least has some understanding of the average Joe Sixpack, Bloomberg exhibits an arrogance and dismissal of all that do not agree with his looney dictatorship.

Bloomberg is Gray Davis East in triplicate.

Libs are more dangerous to the survival of America then any terrorists.

Witness the NYC murder totals under minority Mayor David Dinkins who played tennis while NYC rioted; 2200 murders a year.

Under Rudy Guiliani, another former Dim and still quite a Lib in social policies himself, the murder totals in NYC plunged to under 550 a year.

It will be interesting to see how Ar-Nold attacks the budget, waste, corruption, and crime in California.
