This has been on my mind and chest for a long time and basically I want to get your views on this topic.
Everyone says we need to save/rescue the mainstream middle class from oblivion and basically do what we can to bring jobs.
To be honest, I'm all for letting the mainstream middle class sink or swim. I don't like how the mainstream whine about people on welfare being dependent on the government, but want the government to create laws and policies to protect their interests. The mainstream middle class should not be the first and foremost priority of any nation.
They want student loans forgiven, but keep taking out massive loans for prestigious schools that won't really do much for them after graduation. It's not like graduating from Harvard will end up with them being on the Social Register or going to society balls. Getting worthless degrees.
Blame Obama and the government for allowing easy loans, although no one FORCED them to take out huge loans and basically get houses and cars they couldn't afford otherwise. Maxing out the credit cards for designer gear; Fendi and Versace aren't utility companies.
Bashing people on food stamps and whining about not being able to pay for food despite making 50K a year. If they didn't insist on living in a 100K house, they would be able to afford food. I don’t think the mainstream middle class should be carried by the rest of the nation.
