But more to the point: when I say the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer you don't dispute this because no one really can. It's the truth. The "middle class"? What I meant was: a person making 50k used to be able to afford many things for their family, like cars and college and vacations. Now they must work TWO jobs to earn that 50k, or work twice as hard AT their 50k a year gig, to maintain their lifestyles. they're being squeezed, another fact undisputed.

Again, some people (the rich) like it this way. No Middle Class means no one to protest or vote to stop the rich-getting-richer madness since the poor can't and never have been able to stop it.

THIS is why the Right-Republicans-Teabaggers-Rich want to destroy the middle class and have JUST the rich and the very poor. Ironic since many Teabaggers make under 25k a year so are actually helping to hurt themselves. LOL
