the middle class is mostly gone, the vast majority of people are the working poor.

There is a huge gulf between the rich and the poor, with a relatively few being on the upper end of the economic ladder.

And yet, our legislators largely believe we need to give whatever the super rich want to them, to keep them...what? "Creating jobs"?

WE create jobs through exchange of currency for goods and services, otherwise known as economic activity.

The rich folks will get the money eventually, I'd just like to see it change hands a few more times instead of most of it going directly to their dragon hordes.

That's what they are, human dragons sitting on their piles of treasure.
