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.
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.
The progress of social justice is slow and measured. Its growth depends on an increasing number of us becoming aware of the truth and consequences of our actions.
I believe that it is morally wrong to allow our wanton desires to interfere with the basic needs and interests of other sentient beings.
I believe the physical and psychological abuse – confinement, social deprivation, mutilation, genetic and reproductive manipulation, and profit exploitation – imposed by us on other animals is morally wrong.
I believe the suggestion that the exploitation of other sentient beings by humans can be achieved without cruelty, violence, or injustice is false and misleading.
As an advocate for all life, committed to compassion and justice, I refuse to take part in the exploitation of other sentient beings or to collaborate with those caught up in such injustice.
I pledge to do my best to live a life that conveys a clear, sincere and uncompromised message that is free of resentment, fear, exploitation, anger, cynicism, and manipulation.
Furthermore, I pledge to continue to support a broad range of nonviolent initiatives and programs that will hopefully one day eliminate the needless pain and suffering we inflict upon all the many wonderful creatures with whom we share this planet.

So much true, and not only in the USA.
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...

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