Whether true or not, the Middle Class in the US feels not only marginalized but headed for extinction. And the truth of the matter is that it doesn't matter, what matters is the perception of those involved.

Ultimately, it was the Middle Class which voted into power every administration and especially those from Reagan to the present (and yes, I include Clinton). And as I talk to people here in this very "red" state I note a massive swing away from those who are being held responsible for the situation the country is perceived to be in.

For the first time in my life, I can even see that if change doesn't come to the US, people in the US will force change -- with violence if they feel it necessary. And don't count on the military being on the side of whatever administration is in power, either.
