what do you think, mate?
3 million plus industrial jobs lost in the last decade alone.
the loss of middle income corporate jobs to outsourcing.
remember when a middle class guy could make 15$ an hour being a janitor? now what does a janitor get?
lastly, to exacerbate all their other problems, the middle class has become very debt laden as well.
the middle class is doomed in this country as soon as the dollar tanks, or there is another terrorist attack.(probably happen together)
when the economy does tank, what will happen next?
the housing bubble will burst and millions will lose their homes.
so let's recap; dead dollar, no job, no home, little to no food.
can you say civil unrest?

The middle class are being squeezed by the corporate downsizing and foreign workers taking mid level jobs that once were for the middle class. Just as the people who have little job skills are being pushed by illegals the middle class is being pushed by legals who come to this country on specialty visas because of the alleged shortage of qualified applicants. The next area of the attack is the shrinking tax cuts for the middle income and the rising cost of health care when years ago those cost were covered corporations. The poor get medicaid and the illegals get free medical care but the middle class are caught in the middle and end up paying for both the poor's health care and the rich that use tax loopholes to write off their health care cost.

The middle class is paying for the sins of the wealthy, hire low paying jobs and have them apply for food stamps and medicaid, paid for by the middle class taxes.

Yes, all part of The New World Order Agenda. More social division the more unchallenged power the ruling elites enjoy.

No. I have to say my parents middle class income has increased substantially over the last 10 years plus their standard of living has been able to increase.
What is happening is a struggle between the successful and or educated vs. everyone else.
