it has to shrink under Socialism......, you expect the middle class to expand with bloated government and unprecedented and unsustainable government debt, unprecedented government dependence, flooding illegal immigration?...how will that happen? we're not trying to expand the middle class.... we're working very hard to permanently entrench a very large dependent class to maintain a huge bureaucracy....the middle class is not required to any great degree in a static socialist state, just a broad, powerless working class, dependent on the machinations of a corrupt and powerful government to such a degree that they must continue to support through labor or patronage in order to survive and maintain the state, it's handouts and those that run it....Bernie could tell you that....it's called Utopia.....you see the successful models everywhere...you aren't voting for candidates any longer, you are voting whether or not to maintain and to what degree to enlarge the state(government)....the smaller the middle class and the larger the dependent class........ the more likely the state will be maintained or enlarged....the greatest single threat to a socialist state is a thriving middle class

Darn right.

There is a deep question that I often ponder, essentially it's this...do those who control the Democratic party at the national level, intentionally support policies that cripple those at the bottom? No one can deny that these liberal welfare programs, and liberal programs that give financial incentives for teenage girls to have kids and stay single, fail. These programs are killing the poor. Yet liberals keep supporting the same programs. So the question again is, is that intentional? Is it by design? Or do they genuinely believe they are helping these people the best way possible, despite tons of empirical evidence?

Guy is a borderline Communist. He is an extreme socialist. There is nothing to like or see about communists. Communists like power and to keep it then must control everything this is what & why big government does what it does. It slashes the independent, the rights of the individual at the alter of the machine.

The communist socialists that stared the Russian Revolution were idealed people like this dope too. Wonder how many of them fell out of favor before making small rocks out of big rocks in Siberia.

I have been in Eastern Europe before the wall fell. The East Germans were better Communists than the Russians. Place was still farked.

Elect this guys or people like him at our peril.

I FU()*#$NG hate communists.
