First there are the Elites. They dine in expensive restaurants, wear designer clothes attended benefit galas where they give away millions for political agendas or whatever else they fancy. They attend lavish, wild parties. They send their hired shoppers to buy the most expensive and finest food at the super market, organic, of course. They send their children to the finest schools, ballet classes, art school, whatever they may want. Ivy league schools are the norm for their college education. Politicians among them manage to get elected often by nefarious means and hold office long enough to f'up the whole country. They make millions on the backs of American taxpayers who have to reach deep into their funds (or take out a loan) to pay for things they don't agree with or want their money to be used for. Most of them don't give a damn about anyone they consider below their station in life, or opposed to their radical, and often political policies. All others to them are fans willing to pay exorbitant prices for concerts and sporting events or donors to their political campaigns or foundations. Many seem to feel that as long as they have everything they want, luxury, money and power, it doesn't matter who they have to use and abuse to get it. Occasionally the wealthy will want to help others and care about this republic, but they are rare and precious and often ruined or almost ruined by the corrupt elite whose power they threaten.

That brings us to the middle class. They work a job all their lives to support themselves and their family. Usually both partners have to work. They manage to get a house with a mortgage that may be paid off in 30 years, unless they have to continually borrow against it to survive and have any of the comforts of life. They may own a car with a high payment. They don't have as many children as they would want, because they can't afford to raise more than one or possibly two. They shop frugally and watch for sales. Their food is not the finest and they usually have to save up for the menu for holidays and special occasions. They give their children the best they can, but it's not usually the finest. They often take out loans to send their children to better schools but very often they will choose for them to attend community college or technical school. They save to give their daughters a special wedding and their sons a first car. Paying the medical, auto, homeowners insurance and HOA can be a burden but somehow they get by, paying it in installments. Some of them may manage to have small investments it took them years to amass, but they live in fear of losing everything in the stock-market. They don't usually go to the very best hospitals when they get old and sick. The local hospital is where they go. They try to leave the surviving partner something of value and try to keep their life insurance payments current, if they can afford it at all. They are laid to rest with funerals that cost about three times more than they should. Inflation hits these families in every aspect of their lives and lowers their quality of life.

The third class are America's poor. They live in run down places where they have to fight rats and roaches, where they are cold in Winter and miserably hot in Summer (unless the government is supporting them) They eat the worst and less nourishing food, (unless the government is giving them Food Stamps, Wic and Aid To Dependent Children.) They have jobs that as difficult, low-paying and often hard labor (unless the government is paying them to sit home and draw a check.) They do without insurance and health care, small illnesses become fatal,(unless the government is providing them with free health care). When they pass away they are buried as charity in a potters grave with no marker (unless the government gives them a dignified burial.) There are certainly people who need and deserve support. Through no fault of their own they are in a devastating situation. Unfortunate ones should be helped. There are literally millions who could and should work but don't have to because (the government supports them). There are millions in our country illegally who wouldn't be here and would go back to their country (if the government hadn't opened the border wide for them and wasn't supporting them when they get here, with everything hard working poor Americans don't have.)

What does this look like to you? How do you feel about this? This is sure to eventually bring the middle class to extinction. Then there will be only two classes in America. This is a sure agenda to transform. the hard working middle class into the poor class and they won't have (government support). It's time to set this whole scenario straight. Help the poor who genuinely should be helped but stop the wholesale robbery of the taxpayers money by deadbeats and illegals. There are American citizens, Veterans, living on the street. There is no government help for them. No treatment for mental illness and drug addiction. No dignity for those who risked their lives for the rest of us. Immigrants who want, and actually need asylum can find it at the designated legal entry points. America is legendary as a compassionate country. Where is that compassion for her own people who so desperately need it?

I posted nothing political during the election period. I believed that God is still God and He is the one who takes down one leader and sets up another, for his own purposes, whatever way that may go. This article is not about politics, it's about survival as a class and as a country. It may make some people angry but it's still commonsense truth, like it or not.
