Question

Why is the middle class being squeezed out?

Pfo....WHAT???

Answer 1

Two sayings immediately come to mind: "Evil triumphs when good men [and women] do nothing." & "Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom."

Our original U. S. Representatives were elected by popular vote of the people; however, U. S. Senators were selected by the several state legislatures. In both cases, these representatives were to serve in Washington D.C. for short periods of time then to return home and resume their previous occupations, living under U. S. laws which they, themselves, had enacted. Only Supreme Court Justices were to have lifetime appointments. In this way, "we, the people" sought to establish the checks and balances envisioned by our Founding Fathers when they drafted the U. S. Constitution.

According to The original Bill of Rights, comprising the first ten Amendments, Article X, states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This would include: education; morality issues like abortion,euthanasia and use of harmful substances; age of majority; age of consent to marriage; sufferage, etc. Of course later amendments, duly ratified by Congress and the several State legislatures, have changed sufferage and clarified certain issues. The one serious attempt to regulate morality, i.e. Article XVIII, was found to be unworkable and had to be repealed by Article XXI.

It is also true that revisionist Supreme Court justices have found some things in the Constitution which are not actually there, such as the ruling in Roe v. Wade, that the First Amendment gives to a woman, or to interested third parties, the right to murder unborn babies! I believe those justices in the maority on the abortion issue found that that "right" exists under the freedom of speech! What a perversion of the doctrine of "Original Intent" which many of us believe is embodied in the Constitution!

Lately, some U. S. Supreme Court justices have sought to use international law as a part of their deliberations - this would set a *very* dangerous precedent and harkens back to my opening paragraph!

Answer 2

When the total domestic debt is $25 trillion dollars (Federal, State, County, Municipal, Consumer and Mortgage Debt in one big pile.) Pretty much we are already bankrupt.
Your M2 money supply (Definition of The M2 Money Supply: M2 is a measure of total money supply. M2 includes everything in M1 and also savings and other time deposits.) is 7 trillion dollars. You have an $18 trillion dollar problem. These debtors are being asked to pay back debt with money that does not exist.
How do we service debt in a debt based monetary system? It must be borrowed.
As much as I hate deficit spending if it were not for all this government spending, the economy would have collapsed a long time ago.

Answer 3

Baby, middle-class has been squeezed out for the past decade. There is no longer a middle-class really. You are either rich or poor, there is no middle. Heard of the saying, "cut out the middle man?" well, Bush and other political figures have been cutting out the middle man so they can keep all the money for themselves.

Answer 4

Because we've given control of the government to corporations by forcing our elected representatives to spend huge amounts of money to get elected and forcing them to get that money from private sources.

The best thing we could do is pay for national election campaigns with tax dollars and make any kind of private funding illegal.

It would be a drop in the bucket compared to how much the current system is costing us in terms of bad legislation and bad fiscal policy.

Answer 5

Read all about the Federal Reserve- it ain't that 'Federal'. Basically when it came time to chose between responsible fiscal policy and getting tax payers in the butt to make some bankers rich we made the wrong choice.

Answer 6

You have no clue about what your talking about. Legal immigrants pay fees and thousands of dollars to get here. Their are also many legal immigrants that come here to invest in business and create jobs for people here. Illegal immigration is a different story, and it must be dealt with immediately.

Answer 7

I really don't know. What I do know is that it's complicated.
Globalization is a problem. The lack of competition is a problem. The lack of real opportunity and risk taking is a problem. The dollar is in trouble.

The House controls the money. They are responsible.

Answer 8

Because too many of us demand things from the government that we should be doing for our self.

Answer 9

This will give them incentive to raise are taxes more.

My question is why did congress give themselves a pay raise when they had an 18 % approval rating.

They don't deserve any raises.
