Are they slowly eroding the Middle Class to take away their power, voice and vote?

Question

That way the Middle Class will not be a threat to the Elite that control Washington

Just my opinion but it seems that way to me.

Besides with Diebold machines in the election, our votes are already dead.

Do a google search for: "Clinton Curtis Testimony" on the vote flipping software Republican's asked him to create in Florida 2000 and what he says about tampering and fixing elections through Diebold

He said that it would flip the vote 51-49

The all important Ohio results in 2004
Bush 51 - Kerry 49

Here you go, I did the work for you:

Answer 1

It sounds like you are beginning to understand. What they don't understand is that by killing off the middle class, they have literally killed off the tax Base also. Who are the people spending money in the stores? Who are the people trying to reach the upper class? Who is going to pay the bill?The middle class, if they are gone there is nobody but the rich who have refused to pay their share. We are heading for a depression like never before. The rich will own everything and we will work for pennies to survive, not me I refuse. Let them clean their own mess up.

The middle class is not being erroded in the way you seem to think. Relatively few people are 'falling' or 'climbing' out of the middle class. What is happening is that differing rates of fertility and immigration are causing a demographic shift. The middle class has had low fertility for some time, and is thus 'aging' - that creates an illusion that the middle class is getting richer, since people earn more later in thier careers than when they start out, and since those nearing retirement have a lot of home equity and savings relative to younger people, too. It also makes the middle class look smaller relative to the faster-growing lower classes, which are being boosted by both higher fertility, and high rates of immigration (especially illegal immigration - legal immigrants often enter the middle class).

The driving force behind the fertility issue is just personal choice. The driving force behind illegal immigration, OTOH, is primarily economic, but, to the degree that politicians willfully leave immigration law unenforced and try to pass unpopular Amnesty laws, it could be seen as a conscious attack on the relative voting power of the middle class, and/or as an attempt to depress wages (an assault on the economic power of the working class, though, more than the middle class).

The middle class in America, however, has never been a significant threat to the political 'elite.' Far from it, in fact. The middle class tends be comparatively complacent. The middle class is the 'cash cow' for the political elite, though, paying the vast majority of taxes (because they make more money than the working class and are much more numerous than the genuinely 'rich.') Erroding the middle class, then, is not beneficial to the political elite - though the temptation to 'drain it dry' seems hard for them to resist....

The ruling Elite - Corporate Execs, CEO's and the Top level Government want their to be two groups:

The Elite and The Workers.

Answer 5

Apart from paranoia about electronic voting, the middle class in the U.S. doesn't vote anyway. From 1980 to 2000 the highest turnout for the presidential vote is about 60% of eligible voters. Several times it has dipped below 50%.

Midterm elections are even worse.

Answer 6

I get the strong impression that is the goal, by the way they don't need us to make money, they just make it out of thin air, everytime someone gets a loan it is only a digit in their account it is not borrowed against depositors. the purpose of money making and debt is to get the real thing (all the natural resources on earth including humans) when you borrow you borrow agaisnt the products and such you make or against tangilble stuff like a house or car, they just give you permission to use a piece of paper for transactions.

It is one of the greatest scams every devised by man. once they own everything they just give you credits so you can buy what you need, it is basically them taking out of one pocket and putting it in their other they take no risk or lose anything. afterall the slaves have to eat have home etc, why not let them pay for it out of their own labor and we turn around and actually own it and they are forced to keep working so they can get credit for the real wealth they create and get money so they can keep giving it to the wealthy elites (taxes, fees permits,etc.) let them think they own their stuff so they will spend their hard earn money on it to keep it up because if they knew they really didn't own it they would behave more like renters.

even if you have absolutly no material possessions you will still need money to pay the taxes, fees and permission to even walk down the street or breath. debt is created for control, not profit. if you own all the gold silver, ore, land, trees factories, utiilities companies,etc, what do you need money for except for the slaves to use as proof of the labor they performed to produce the products needed for the wealthy to live in their big boats, big homes, etc, keep their houses and yards clean, to fight the wars, manage the war machines, keep the farms going etc, so the slaves then are allowed to buy food that other slaves produced. There is no cost to the wealthy who own all the factories, farms, gold silver minerals needed, the phone companies, the wires, I mean the list is endless.

Money is truly power. By the way they are afraid of the middle class because of our numbers, education and etc, that threatens to thwart their plans of world domination, after all people who are educated well fed and who have been used to having all kinds of freedom will not give them up easily. They will fight back, they have the money and knowledge to fight against them in all arenas including using their guns if they have to, to defend themselves from tyranny. this is what they are afraid of the middle class outnumbers them about 100 to one if not more.
