The middle class seems to be getting smaller and smaller.
The middle class pay more per capita in taxes than the wealthy ,or the poor.
So what is the advantage to getting rid of the middle class?
Just poor, and wealthy.

Companies can pay them less.

@ragingloli I was getting that feeling the wealthy can turn them into real life wage slaves, even worse than now, but the wealthy fail to realize the middle class poor more in taxes than they do, so if you wipe out that class they would have to pick up the tax short fall.

The advantage is more than obvious when you recognize which class is pulling ever further ahead, proof positive as to just which class the society has been engineered to advance at the expense of whatever is left. In fact it is no exaggeration to state that the rich must now fatten up through the specific expropriation and effective elimination of the middle class. The signs are everywhere. The rich now grow richer through converting the middle class into the poor.

The wealthy don’t care if the tax base paid by the middle class is gone, because they don’t want government wasting money on things like healthcare or social security or schools.

Now ,now @Patty_Melt you know full well @stanleybmanly was talking to a troll that @SavoirFaire removed, so lets not be trollish ourselves.
Though you might have liked the troll he/she came across as very hard core conservative.

I didn’t see conservative. I think you misunderstand the term. He came across as anti people. More like tentacled aliens.
