No. That wouldn't be in the best interest of rich people. The middle class helps to keep the population of rich people at a minimum. (Fewer rich people = more money for rich people.) They (the middle class) pay the highest taxes. This helps the rich in three ways: 1) It's money that rich people don't have to pay. 2) It greatly decreases the chance of middle class persons ever hitting the rich mark, as they have to struggle just to remain in the middle class bracket. 3) Some of that tax revenue assists in keeping the poor impoverished by providing government assistance with no incentives for people to make improvements.
The middle class also serves as blinders. In other words, the presence of a middle class causes many citizens to believe the lies that are spoon fed to us by the politicians, big business, etc... They (the citizens) are blinded by the existence of a middle class and can't see the true motives of people in power (allowing those in power to remain as they are without making any changes that would make things better for all of us).

George doesn't want to, but the Mexicans are putting more and more pressure on us here in the Southwest- So sad.
Yeah,It hurts for all the Real Americans who pay their taxes. It hurts when an American realizes what he or she has been paying our hard-earned money for.
It actually goes to those who are using up our welfare, to budget our food bank and medical facges I wish I could get that type of service for my kids.
It has been made clear that many will come. Isn't it clear now that we have opened ourselves up to those who are just taking advantage? Oh see how they are
Can't we keep our American help among our legals?
To those Americans that care, don't hire illegals. Teens will work for the same wage if it meant they can get a car. We all know what they wan t is to drive..
And frankly, we need to teach our kids the worth of a days' work.
Our kids do not realize the rite of passage that can come along with hard work. It continues to drive the American Heritage.
Sadly, very few American parents want to "put their child through that".
Ick.
Can I throw up now?

It is a side effect of his goal and of no importance to him. The masses are working and should be satisfied, the quality and payment for the job is of no interest to him. Many families have two adults working two jobs each to stay afloat but that makes the statistics look like full employment,
Too many low wage no benefit jobs out there.

I don't think he consciously made that goal but it's happening. There are more people living at the poverty level than there were before he became president. Yes, some have benefited financially from his terms but the majority of us haven't.

He will leave some to Hillary and she will certainly wipe it out if she gets universal health benefits which will tax all of us in the middle class into poverty.

Wipe out the middle class? How's do you figure he's doing that?
He's lowered taxes, the economy is growing, the market is at its highest level EVER, unemployment is down, interest rates are low.......
Need I say more?

I seriously doubt it. He's doing more to help the middle class than any of the dems are by taxing the crap out of the middle class. If you're going to put up stupid claims and you want to be taken seriously, but up some evidence of your claim.

No, his goal was to make as much money for himself and his friends as he possibly could--mission accomplished
