To Obama, we aren’t really the “middle class”. We are, as Marx called us, the “Petit Bourgeois”, the enablers of the capitalists. We prop up the “enemies of the Worker Class” even as they exploit us because we hope to move up to full Bourgeois some day. Marx says that we may be workers but we are also enemies of the Workers and must be destroyed. Nothing that has been done to eradicate the middle class by this evil POS in the White Hut is by accident. He is following the manual...to the letter.
The definition of “working class” has morphed over the past century from average workers to low-paid workers to non-working people on public assistance; Marx would have realized a revolution can not be accomplished with such parasites. FWIW, Obama is simply escalating the attack on the middle class that his Republic counterparts did little to stem.
