29. To be fair
It isn't just the middle class being hurt. That is leaving out the lower classes that are also under attack, though they have even less of a voice.
Some of these policies damage all living beings. Reversing or relaxing all environmental policies hurts us all, but corporations benefit. Making the world our enemy endangers us all and so on. It is true only the rich and corporations benefit from anything this administration does but we are all screwed.

There is so much being done to take from those who have the least, guess they figure the poor aren't a big voting block. It's just they are getting bolder about hurting the middle class too...the bankruptcy bill and all the rejected amendments that benefits the financial institutions only...and screws over not just spendthrifts, but those devastated by illness, job loss, identity theft, national guard deployment, loss of insurance and so on seems like a flashing neon sign showing what they do. Their policies and lack of protections are what throw people in the holes and then they smash them while they are down.

It has become so blatant it is shocking. You have to love comments about our strengthening economy, do they know the difference between corporate wealth and personal wealth? It's corporations doing well. Low unemployment ignores those off the rolls and not counted, ignores the lower quality jobs and decreased earnings and benefits. There is nothing good happening for anyone but the wealthiest...and they don't even really try to hide it.
