Bernie Sanders: You Can't Cut The Deficit When Middle Class Is 'Disappearing'
Republican message to the middle class, which is NOT dwindling at all:
Keep up the good work. Resist and stay out of unions. Don't let phony democrats sway you. Learn from the examples of Detroit and Chicago. Honor the family unit. Teach your children morality.
Vote Republican!
You're on your own

Bernie Sanders: You Can't Cut The Deficit When Middle Class Is 'Disappearing'
Republican lawmakers have insisted on making harsh spending cuts -- in many cases, cuts to safety net programs --
The GOP is very concerned about the middle class. The middle class continues to want job security, good pay, generous benefits, time off for family, good public schools, safe food & water, healthcare when they need it, and medicare and social security in good shape for their ageing parents and themselves when they need it too.
This concerns the GOP very much. They are very worried about this. The GOP's steadfast belief in not doing anything about these concerns, and instead bringing "freedom" to job creators, as well as to Iraqis at gunpoint, didn't work for two Presidential elections in a row, and this worries the GOP a lot.
What middle class does Bernie Sanders expect to create with the types of jobs being created? The Government isn't creating jobs which makes the nation richer, they're creating jobs which makes the nation poorer. The Government spent more than $3 Trillion dollars and the only jobs they've managed to create were non-productive service sector jobs.
A middle class is the result of a vibrant economy, not the other way around. You don't create a middle class.
Reaganism and voodoo have ruined the nonrich and the country. When the Feds cut taxes, the states and localities raise fees and taxes (and PAYROLL TAXES, now more money than fed income taxes!) that kill the nonrich. Pay attention, morons:

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.
Over the past 60 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didnt notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:
1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.
Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.
But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labors share of income (1992 = 100%):
1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%
A 13% drop since 1980
2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.
Share of National Income going to Top 10%:
1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%
An increase of 16% since Reagan.
3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.
The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.
1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% Reagan
1982 = 11.2% Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)
A 12.3% drop after Reagan.
4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.
Household Debt as percentage of GDP:
1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%
A 45% increase after 1980.
5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.
Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:
1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%
A 5.6 times increase.
6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.
The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:
1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%
A 10% Decrease.

BTW, if Bernie Sanders had anything resembling GUTS he would be a Democrat rather than this ersatz, Democrat asshole-licking nobody, who caucuses with Democrats, but like the true phony that he is, he calls himself INDEPENDENT.
