Maybe if the middle class understood that the national debt is going to be solely their responsibility they might get angry enough to get involved.
Someday, the national debt will come due. Who will pay it back?
Not the poor, they don't have any money.
And not the rich. The rich will say, "We make up only 5% of the population (or 2%, depending on how you define "rich") why should we pay off a debt that was run up by 100% of the population?"
And then the rich will drop out of the economy and live off their wealth, leaving the middle class - and the middle class alone - tens of trillions of dollars in the hole.
Moral of the story: the national debt is a middle-class debt.
Drives me absolutely nuts when our leftist/communists complain about the non-rich "voting against their own interests." Their attitude says, "Hey, there's room at the trough! Get your snout in here! (and vote for me!)"
I guess gvt-driven stealing isn't really stealing, right?
