Can't the middle class (which includes me) be happy that we have what we have and don't live in a country where 99% of the people live in tin shacks while the top 1% lives on plantations and controls the army and government. At least here in the US we have 89% living in nice houses, making salaries that are just enough to get buy and live a relatively luxurious life, with 10% only living in poverty and 1% at the top not completely controlling the government.
Granted, legitimate arguments about health insurance rates and education can be made about the middle class, which may be weakening right now. Universal healthcare and a basic form of universal higher education are likely to be achieved in the next decades. But the American middle class IS educated enough to know that tearing down the rich to our level is not constructive at all, and that a "middle class revolution" is flat out pointless. While a major movement among the middle class may occur, it won’t be about the one percents salaries as much as it will be about the increasing problems with the necessities the middle class deals with in everyday life.
You sure you don't want to do that math again? Or did you use the same calculator Paul Ryan used for his budget?
