When you look past all the Washington BS of tax cuts and budget cuts etc etc. and try to figure out why doesn't John Smith have a job

The first punch in this knockout of the middle class comes from. A good percentage of the middle class jobs have gone to china and india leaving a smaller pot of Jobs for John

The second punch is automation, Although machines doing work has always been a problem for labor since the dawn of the industrial age the internet has taking it to a new level ... Once again leaving a lot less jobs for John Smith


The final knock out punch for John Smith has been illegal immigration. A good percentage of Jobs are being worked by Illegal immigrants. Yes at one time they did the jobs we didn't want to.... but that's not true anymore. Look around they are doing skilled labor jobs like carpentry, Mason work and roofing. Those jobs were once the bread and butter of the middle class

I think the middle class could have survived any one of those punches even two of them.
but three combined have been devastating

You guys can sit around and talk about tax cuts and Pell grants but nothing either party has said will solve the real problems
Both parties Republicans and Democrats dug the grave for the middle class
