Middle class is on its way out

More tax breaks for the rich while we have a huge deficits, tax loopholes for multinational corporations that send jobs overseas, bailouts for bankers now receiving big bonuses instead of jail time, health care costs double any other industrialized country, oil profits soar while gas goes above $4 per gallon, three wars instead of two after a decade of lies and elimination of teachers to make us less competitive with China.

This is a prescription for middle class extinction and the downward spiral of America.
