Conditions in the US are going from bad to worse
Last week the Census bureau said there was a sharp increase in poverty in the US.
This week the Census bureau said the number of uninsured Americans has increased for the second year in a row. Seems fewer and fewer employers are offering health insurance to their workers. Of course this is hitting the middle class the heaviest.

The Dems need to concentrate on economic issues. When the pugs cry class war they need to respond "Damn right it's class war, it's about time that WORKING people have their voices heard!"

3. The ones waging "class warfare"
are the uber rich, who are on the attack against the middle class and working poor. the latter lacks any means of waging class warfare.

4. It's an incentive for US workers to become globally competitive!

The Free Market is empowering American families to be part of the Capitalist tradition!

Sure, there will be some lifestyle changes, maybe most workers won't have some of the luxuries like housing or medical care or daily meals, but they will have something much better - the deep personal satisfaction of knowing they are working hard for a globally competitive wage instead of getting a handout!
