We have abandoned a generation, and the Democratic Party has not fought as it should have. My guess is they blame the party that didn't stop the bleeding, rather than the one that actually ran the knife up their abdomens.

At this point there is no positive in a middle class, and it's not needed. It's just a waste of resources and a pain in the ass for the powers that be.<br /><br />The middle class is going away, end of story. The only real question is if the fate of the 99% is mass starvation or simply a life that's permanent shit.<br /><br />The left has ruled out violent revolt, so effectively they have no input on what direction things will take. If there is a populist revolt it's going to be right wing, and right wing conservatism will be the dominant factor and voice of the masses.<br /><br />It's over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-1659244541425052822014-02-24T14:17:39.734-05:002014-02-24T14:17:39.734-05:00with little local barons under control of their sl...<i>with little local barons under control of their slice of America</i><br /><br />AKA Southern American regional gubmint.Dark Avengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220642215040873632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-46245877475114972602014-02-24T12:36:45.716-05:002014-02-24T12:36:45.716-05:00The Rich have no need for a Middle Class.

The Middle Class is to whimsical in its' voting patterns and the Rich don't want to support a Social Safety Net because they have enough for themselves. Also they have no need for Public Infrastructure because they have been setting themselves up to be little self-sufficient fiefdoms for decades.<br /><br />What the Rich want is a return to Feudalism, with little local barons under control of their slice of America while the Big Federal Government works to enforce the trade while opening up foreign markets with the military and quelling domestic dissent and suppressing the working class.Grung_e_Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894879088472559055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-14572657668050306612014-02-24T11:51:32.639-05:002014-02-24T11:51:32.639-05:00Our choice is limited:
