Well, yes. And the only way we can have a strong middle class is.....???

Yes. And the sad truth of it all is that the oppressors sit back and let the oppressed turn the tools of oppression upon themselves.

So what's the answer ???

Print more money ? Oh, sorry, that's happening already...

For a start – increase the taxes on the filthy rich who control 40 percent of the nation's wealth (they are just sitting on it anyway) and stimulate the economy by rebuilding the nation's infrastructure, as well as, financing renewable energy sources to get us off our dependence on fossil fuels . . . that would put the middle class back to work and our nation's fiscal health on the road to recovery.

I think the middle class should be added to the endangered species list....

Yes Dee, you are absolutely right! I hope it comes to pass. It always baffles me why a vast amount of the middle class have not as of yet understood this.
