1/5 of the Middle Class Disappeared Under Obama

The middle class doesn’t own a lot of banks, solar power panel manufacturers or sensitivity training centers so they haven’t done too well under Obama Inc.

A sense of belonging to the middle class occupies a cherished place in America. It conjures images of self-sufficient people with stable jobs and pleasant homes working toward prosperity.

Since 2008, the number of people who call themselves middle class has fallen by nearly a fifth, according to a survey in January by the Pew Research Center, from 53 percent to 44 percent. Forty percent now identify as either lower-middle or lower class compared with just 25 percent in February 2008.

Nothing has gotten any better under Obama. As a matter of fact he not only dug the mess deeper in this country at the costs of trillions, he made a huge mess out of others as well-Egypt and Libya.

He's working on the other 4/5. When he's done there won't be much difference between us and the other third world countries.

Middle went to higher class. Can't get mad at that!
