robertreich.org/post/30553661179Why do conservatives hate the middle class? We are a great country. If conservatives have their way we will be like Mexico. Fantastically rich upper class, a smallish middle class that serves the rich, and the majority of the people poor peons struggling to feed themselves. The real question is why do middle class conservatives not see this?

Reich is shilling for liberals with a false jaded view of what can be if we just get rid of Obama and a few more liberal Senators and Congressmen. You view is so childish it is hard to take you seriously. You seem to have forgotten the lessons of your first Economics Course and the lessons of the last few years.

The words, "middle class" is a politico tool used to aim really at no one.
How do you define, "middle class"? Is it an income level between what, a specific amount up to another specific amount? What about the higher costs of living in NYC or lalaland versus the lower costs of living in Perris Lake or Squallerville?
As far as taxation, there really is no such thing as middle class. The very first cent of wage gets slammed by the FICA or SECA tax, flat on gross.
And, do you consider yourself, "middle class"? I don't consider my self, "middle class" one bit. I am an American who is over-taxed and regulated way too much. But more than these two, I am taxed up to my forehead, and cannot afford one more cent in taxation which are going way the hcal up on January 1st, about three weeks before the new presidential term starts...a bit late don't you think?

Mexico got to their current state by following more Reich's wishes than anything close to the free market approach conservatives want. |

Otherwise you post makes no sense. |
