They've been doing away with the middle class for years, here soon if nothing is changed we will only have rich and poor.

if we really wanna go there much (not all but much) of the erosion of the middle class has been a result of millions of non-American workers entering the workforce for a percentage of what Americans can work for. The middle class has had lower itself just to compete

The middle class has had lower itself just to compete And from a business standpoint there is pressure to higher unexperienced workers in place of the trained workers they could hire...so while the non-American workers work for a margin of the pay they also have a margin of the training, which leaves out the trained workers (do note I'm not saying all non-American workers are not trained, but a chunk of them are not).

but most of the trained workers are here legally (and a part of a totally different trend haha) unfortunately actual trained Americans are getting harder to find EDIT: yanno there are 250,000,000 Indians under the age of 30? that is the population of the entire United States. AND they get free University level education. and we're so busy with our class war whining about Liberals and Neocons that we are just sitting on our asses while they pass us by

The middle class has had lower itself just to compete you hit the nail on the head a mexican will hang drywall for $7.50 an hr,most americans would say i aint hangin no drywall for no $7.50 an hr, but if thats all they can find then its either unemployment or hang drywall for $7.50 an hr.and you only get 662/3 of your weekly or monthly earnings.

going on …Then I will kiss your A$$. The rich get what they want and they make all the rules. The funny thing is the Middle Class ends up paying the bill for those rules. I love Capitalism but it needs some regulation in order to keep the Thieves and Robbers from screwing the Middle class. What do you have to say about it? that made me laugh you wonder if there is a class war and then every word you say perpetuates it Yes, because the media in this country wants to keep the sheepal distracted and asleep on this particular war. The next time someone mentions a class war on the idiot box and they get some attention watch how our media calls it Bull Sh!t. The powers that be don’t want the middle class to wake up to the truth on this matter. I see it so, I talk about it.....

The middle class has had lower itself just to compete And who passed NAFTA??? I'll give you a hint: It wasn’t the middle class..... Who is not enforcing our boarders? Who is bailing out the banking industry with our money?

I agree...that's what happens when lawyers & wealthy people run for office. Anything less they consider not qualified or a simpleton. Just ask SARAH PALIN.

The biggest problem is that the "REGULATORS" are too easily bought. Doesn't matter which party they're from.
