What About The Middle Class?

Bank bailouts…auto industry assistance…CEO bonuses….Credit card rules….nice work if you can get it….all the help has been for the corporations…..the middle class has received only some minor lip service…….will that change?

God knows it should, be so far I have not seen any of the efforts that will create a more stable middle class….without that we have nothing but a 2 class system….the wealthy and the poor…Obama has mentioned the middle class numerous times…but so far nothing has been done to protect it from the erosion it is experiencing.

In an article written by Robert Stark in the LA Examiner he noted:

Obama is no friend of the middle class. He is a tool of international finance, multi-national corporations, the military industrial complex, and has strong socialist leanings. Many think socialism and financial capital are at opposite ends of the economic spectrum. That could be further from the truth. Socialist want more customers for the welfare state to sustain their political power. That is why the democratic establishment supports massive immigration because they want to increase their power base. They bribe voters with social programs. Many of these perceived leftist causes are financed by Wall Street financiers. The financial and corporate elites want open borders because they profit of the cheap labor and want a feudalist economic system.

Finance capital has bought of most of our politicians and media. Much like Socialist, monopoly capitalist want complete control of the economy and government. Think tanks such as the Council on Foreign Relations that many politicians including much of Obama’s cabinet seek to dissolve American sovereignty and consolidate the power on the financial elites. A strong middle class  is necessary for a free Republic. Both socialist and financial elites make common cause in weakening the middle class to consolidate their powers and have control over both major political parties. The middle class unlike left wing, ethnic advocacy groups, foreign, and corporate financial interest does not have a lobby to advocate on it s behalf. Politicians need the middle class to get elected but most presidents have abandoned it in favor of the elites and special interest once they are in power.

After watching the admin for the last 4 months or so, I am beginning to agree with Stark’s observation.  Why?  The banks have received billions upon billions and the only thing that is suppose to accomplish is to loosen up credit….in a time when consumer confidence is low…foreclosures are rising faster then the temperature….and unemployment is racing out of control…..Just where in there is the help for the middle class?

The middle class needs employment and stability, not a continuation of the policies and programs that put them in the dire straights they find themselves now.  The middle class is slowly disappearing and soon there will be two class in the US–the rich and the poor.  Nothing that is being attempted at this time is stablizing the middle class, it loses ground daily and Washington fiddles.

  1. I agree that Obama isn’t the people’s salvation, but he is way off base on Socialism. Stark made the common American mistake of confusing socialism with state control of industry. Socialism is about worker control of the economy, which is exactly why Obama isn’t a socialist, nor could he create socialist reforms in and of himself. For socialism to exist it has to be implemented by the working class, not from a government agency. Otherwise you’ll have a soviet style society, and that certainly isn’t a situation where the working class gets to decide what is made and how it is distributed.

    1. Thanx for the visit jackofspades83…I appreciate the participation and thanx for the link I will check it out. I agree with you completely…the workers are the ones to take the lead and now would be a good time for that.

  2. Actually, when it comes to democrats vs. republicans, I am wondering if it is actually a choice of fascism by the government vs. fascism by the corporations.
