One hallmark of the great experiment that is America has been the strength of the middle class. A free and open economy, plus the social freedom to rise in society and the work place has led to an environment that allows for an expanding middle group that has been the envy of the world.
A large middle class provides cultural and political stability that foments greater participation in all aspects of a smooth running society. In contrast, countries with a smaller middle class typically have a small, wealthy, ruling elite and a large lower class that has little power in the running of the nation.
America, one might say, is the great equalizer, and the middle class has been the majority economic segment of society for many years. The “American Dream” has been that anyone who was willing to work hard and play be the rules could move up and become part of the “mainstream” middle.
That appears to be changing, and a recent Pew Research study indicates that under President Obama the middle class is declining and that by combining the upper and lower tiers, the middle proportion is now less than the other two combined tiers. There are several aspects to the study that explain the shift, but it is troubling that society seems to be becoming more stratified, with less opportunity for those who would rise to the top.

Never give up Rose! You take that patriotism to the grave with you if you have to. That’s what it’s all about. Stay strong. You are NOT alone.
He never tricked me. Did u vote for him?
WE’ VE GOT FOXES IN THE HEN HOUSE. NO DOUBT THERE ARE MUSLIM RATS IN THE ARMED FORCES!
When you read this you will understand why Obama refuses to say the words “radical Islam.”.. This checked out with Google and Snopes…
Did you know that we now have a Muslim government? John Brennan, current head of CIA (MUSLIM) converted to Islam while stationed in Saudi Arabia.
Obama’s top advisor, Valerie Jarrett, is a MUSLIM who was born in Iran where her parents still live. Hillary Clinton’s top advisor, Huma Abedin is a MUSLIM whose mother and brother are involved in the now outlawed MUSLIM Brotherhood in Egypt. Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for Homeland Security, Arif Aikhan, is a MUSLIM. Homeland Security Advisor, Mohammed Elibiary, is a MUSLIM. Obama advisor and founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, Salam al-Marayati, is a Muslim. No surprise here!
Obama’s Sharia Czar, Imam Mohamed Magid, of the Islamic Society of North America is a MUSLIM. Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships, Eboo Patel, is a MUSLIM. And last but not least, OUR CLOSET MUSLIM PRESIDENT himself, Barack Hussein Obama. It’s questionable if Obama ever officially took the oath of office when he was sworn in. HE DIDN’T REPEAT THE OATH PROPERLY to defend our nation and our Constitution. Later the DEMOCRATS CLAIMED HE WAS GIVEN THE OATH AGAIN IN PRIVATE?
CIA director MUSLIM John Brennan took his oath on a copy of the Constitution, not a Bible. Congressman, MUSLIM Keith Ellison took his oath on a copy of the Qur’an. Congresswoman Michele Bachman was vilified and almost tarred and feathered by Democrats when she voiced her concern about Muslims taking over our government. Considering all these appointments, it would explain why Obama and his minions are systematically destroying our nation, supporting radical MUSLIM groups worldwide, opening our southern border, and turning a blind eye to the genocide being perpetrated on Christians all over Africa and the Middle East.
The more damage Obama does, the more arrogant he’s become! Our nation and our government has been infiltrated by people who want to destroy us. -Steve Dahl
Robert no,didn’t vote for him.
Not everyone was tricked… If something sounds to good to be true, usually it isn’t. Lots of folks tried to warn obamtron voters back in 2008 but we were called racist… Even in 2012 even more people knew better, that he was a huckster but the zombies followed blindly..
How did he get to DC and how does he stay there…We need to find the answers to those questions.
tED cRUZ WILL MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN AND WE WONT HAVE TO LISTEN TO HIM YELLOWING AT ANY ONE
