The left wants a country featuring 2% “Elite”,25% “Middle Class” and 73% “Welfare Parasite”.

I suspect that the elite want a larger middle class than you suggest, maybe as much as 25% of the population. That middle class will be government workers, totally loyal to their masters. And living a very comfortable life.

Throughout history, that's been a feature of civilizations....a comfortable middle class that have everything to lose if they didn't toe the line.

We're close to that now. Only government workers get safe pensions, most have job security, and excellent salaries which make their lives very comfortable.

A middle class that doesn't depend on government is already a bit of a myth. Most companies depend on government contracts or government workers using their products/services to be successful.

Once they're in power, the middle class will be in the 5% range and welfare will be cut to nothing. They want all of us beholden with our lives on the line - - no one outside the 'liberal elite 2%' will be spared.
