You are correct that taxes are the MO for eliminating the middle class -- through the ACA, the never-ending Quantitative Easing, and support of the welfare state. The end result: the rich get richer, the poor get more benefits, and the middle class gets poorer. Thanks for your comment.

I don't care how much the rich have ... I care about what is being taken away from the middle class, and that the current economic policies are driving hard-working and productive people into the lower class and poverty. Greed on the part of the rich? Maybe. Not for me to say. Envy on my part?
