Liberal groups having a rally for the embattled middle class of the US. Look at the groups organizing it. You can't make this up. Wow..:

The groups sponsoring the rally, which is called “One Nation Working Together (http://action.onenationworkingtogether.org/content/main - broken link),” say they hope to supplant what they say is the Tea Party’s divisiveness with a message of unity to promote jobs, justice and educatio

So will they be insisting on tax cuts for the embattled middle class?

I'm gay and I'm middle class. My partner is latino and he's middle class. WTF is your point? Can we not be middle class because we're not white heterosexuals? Is the middle class now confined to just white bigots like yourself?

I really couldn't say, since I don't worship politicians.

Why do progressives reference the past so much?
Seems contradictory, no?

There we go again. Everyone who disagrees with me is a bigot. Do the groups listed represent the MAJORITY of the middle class, or only fringe, radical leftist elements of the middle class?

La Raza??? They advocate open borders and legalizing illegal immigrants, further straining the tax base. That's something the MAJORITY of the middle class wants?

Read the article at the link. The sponsors of this march say nothing about tax cuts!
