I just saw a similar statement in another thread. Given that the middle class in any state is the voting majority, is the middle class just sitting on its hands on election day instead of getting out to fire tax-hungry state lawmakers? If such is the case, then middle class voters deserve whatever state lawmakers throw at them imo.
I believe the sad fact is that most of the people get their news/information fed to them from the America hating MSM. If you believe the stuff fed to you from the TV talking heads (and from the not dying quickly enough newspapers) - you believe the Global Warming farce is real, you believe Gentle Giant Michael Brown was shot while kneeling down and raising his hands up in the air, and a host of other fictions.
Not so much stupid, but negligent - and not understanding that the people feeding you their version of the 'news' hate you and hate America.
The net result is that the Communists are in charge. And my loathing of the Media grows on a daily basis.
The middle class is a minority of voters.
The people on welfare plus government employees are the majority by a large percentage.
They have only become effective because of the internet.
I have absolutely no problem believing that the working middle class is now a minority of CA’s voting population, as another poster claimed. Its long known to have been shrinking while the population of recent poor, illiterate entrants has skyrocketed in the past twenty years.
