I agree that Government has forgotten the shrinking meddle class, but the have also abandoned the poor or "lower class". We have allowed our government to become a huge corporate serving entity. How many need to become homeless before people start demanding change? How much of our constitution needs to be destroyed before we stand up? It's long overdue to stop asking. We will never big change in this country until the people unite and demand it. However, most are too busy buying shit they don't need. I know, I make my entire living off what people throw away. Everything I own was a throw away or bought for a few dollars at a garage sale. I have everything I ever needed. America, stop shopping and maybe the government will listen.
