(112,920 posts)It didn't just 'happen' even in the last 10yrs - it's been the plan since the Bush-Stephens' deaalings with Chinese industrialists in the 70s....and they used WalMart to get the global fascism ball rolling. They made China the manufacturing center for NWO while reducing America to a 'service' economy that would further separate the classes.

This began in 1971 when Congress passed and Nixon signed the DISC legislation as the first step towards outsourcing American jobs. After the passage of the DISC legislation, Nixon traveled to China in 1972 for his China summit.
Stephens was a super-banker. The biography of him and his connections to U.S. politicians, although short, is well worth reading.

(60,305 posts)Looking at the top chart, he had 1,356 words compared to Pawlenty who hasn't been in the race since the Iowa Staw Poll who had more than 6 thousand.
How does a man who isn't even in the race have such a large word count in the debates?

(37,573 posts)I am sick of politicians, Democrats included, who talk about the middle class when what they really mean is the UPPER middle class and trickle down for the rest of us.
As far as I am concerned saying "middle class" over and over and over again is just a way of saying "I don't care about the lower class"

(37,573 posts)like Obama's Payroll Tax cut that he adopted from the Republican platform. Obama, and the M$M will insist that it is a "middle class" tax cut. Yet the distribution of its benefits looks like this
12.1% of the payroll tax cut goes to those in the bottom 40%
26.7% of the payroll tax cut goes to those in the top 10%
27.1% goes to those in the bottom 60%
46.4% goes to those in the top 20%
The TOP 40% get 73% of the benefits. The bottom 40% gets 12.1%.
But thank goodness Obama is fighting for the middle class.
Because, apparently, anybody who is not in the top .1% is in the "middle".
