Pure Occupy Wall Street rhetoric. You're free to start your own business or learn a skill that's in demand to increase your earning power. Nobody's forcing you to stay in "Middle America."
Because everyone has that incentive and opportunity to get rich, we're an innovative country that has dramatically raised the standard of living and quality of life across all income levels.
Middle America has been economically gang banged for decades, and used as a GD punching bag as their standard of living declined, wages declined, benefits declined, and retirement pensions were decimated, all while the rich got richer and government became more controlling, more intrusive and larger.
Otherwise, at this rate you'll have a country of nothing but wealthy with a 3rd world work force of low wage peasants. And that's exactly where it's going now.
That will hopefully come to a halt and reverse course.
