*****When people are unemployed, they have no buying power.

Bullsh!t. Like many, I've been there. I found alternative, temporary means to take care of myself while unemployed. You just have to see what you can do for yourself; not what the gov't can do for you.

*****Eventually, there will not be a middle class.

Doubtful.

*****The rich, who have never been in that situation, don´t care about the poor.

I know several people who started with nothing and built themselves up, over time. The idea that the rich have always been rich is an untruth that only a liberal could spout.

Indeed. The statistics in the US are something like 90+% of the very wealthy at any one time in the US did not have any "family money" or inheritance to prop them up. In other words, virtually all the very wealthy in the US are completely self-made, statistically.
