What killed the middle class? - massive tax increases to fund a socialist government. The middle class now pays almost 50% of their income in taxes (local, state and federal).

Serfs in the middle ages only paid from 10-33% to the local noble...

At what point between 0-100% in taxes do you become a slave?

I'm upper middle class, and my annual taxes, total, are rounded off at 18% of my income. (Actual figures from '06)

You have no idea what you are saying. But if you believe that most of us here are ignorant and illogical that's your problem.

At least make your illustrations a bit more honest and less emotionally extreme.

"What killed the middle class?"

Psst. The middle-class is bigger than it's ever been. Ever.
