>Let's say the recession ends tomorrow, and we get 4% annualized GDP growth for the next eight years. That means the middle class can grow and thrive once again.

But it wasn't growing and thriving, other than with the overuse of credit, while GDP was growing like that. Our policies are geared towards funnelling money into the pockets of the upper classes. When you control money, you make more money.

>Yet you'll still believe in policies that are rooted in fears of the middle class disappearing. All because there will always be someone richer than you, and there will always be someone poorer than you, but you'll never accept that reality.

The middle class is making exactly what it made 30 years ago; the top 1 percent is making 10 times what it was making then. Is that OK? When disparity is so high, the upper class "owns" the lower classes.
