(7,515 posts)I never said all of the money went to the impoverished class...what I did say is that people who had been middle class and paid federal income taxes all of their working lives have been impoverished themselves. Where the hell do you think the money for SNAP. Section 8 Housing, and other programs that attempt to relieve the suffering of the impoverished comes from? Santa Clause?
I never visit right wing sites, never. I am amazed at how poor is the reading comprehension of many people....I never claimed that the wealth of the middle class had been drained by the poor. That is indeed a right wing meme. I know full well that the middle class was crushed by the greed of the rich. Do your own research...go back 40 years and find out who put the bulk of the revenue into the federal coffers. Research the median wage and what has happened to it. Learn the definition of middle class.
