This is exactly why I am worried about it. The middle class is shrinking at an alarming rate and could very well bring us back to a time where everyone is either in the lap of luxury or the bread line.
And when all of society is run for the benefit of the 1%, there will still be those on this board arguing that the tax burden on the 1% is too great and that the government should be funded with a sales tax so that the lower class can pay its fair share.
