I am an avowed conservative, but even I will admit to being infuriated when I see how those that occupy that stratum have ginned the system ruthlessly. Or as the Golden Rule says: “Those with the gold, make the rules”.
Hahaha, that’s the real golden rule isn’t it? I guess what really irks me the most is that these tactics are the same ones used in Central and South America to keep a few wealthy families in control of the whole show across generations. They exploit the high earning productive middle classes (including many entrepeneurs) with high taxes, and then they use those tax revenues to give sops to the poor (healthcare, education, housing projects, etc…) to keep them from revolting. Eventually they begin using those tax revenues to fund a police state to keep everyone in line. We are seeing the beginnings of this here and I don’t see it getting any better. And of course they control the media so they use that to pit the poor against the middle classes while the super-rich float high above the fray…
