I can understand this. the price of oil is causing a lot of the goods we use to raise. The prices are going up faster than our pay checks thus we are more in debt and things are not looking any better. I would say it is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

I absolutely agree with this reasoning. It is the middle class that is the tie that has bound this country for a very long time. The last time the middle class nearly went away, during the Great Depression, we nearly had a revolution. That may not be taught in school, but my dad lived through it and he told me how bad things were and how close we were. And they were a generation more used to hardship. I believe him. If they could be close to revolution then the loss of the middle class could certainly send us to that precipice. Or even worse, the other option of oligarchy… and that would truly be a sin for the world. A nuclear armed oligarchy that was once the hope of the world. I hope neither of these come to pass.

KN,

No one can balk or contest them until the revolution. And with our freedom loving society I think revolution would come quickly.
