What middle class? It feels to me that there is getting to be an awful big gap between the haves and the have nots. We get 8 years of Democrats and then 8 years of Repubicans back and forth back and forth and the gap just keeps getting wider and wider. IMO we should try something different, anything different, it can't be a whole lot worse. I am no expert, but I always liked the idea of some sort of flat tax with the first so many thousand not taxed at all to help the poor and then you do not file taxes at the end of the year and there is no IRS. But that is probably crazy talk?
