The lower-income class that is dependent on state welfare benefits has a major stake in the status quo. So does the well-paid top technocrat/professional class.

The middle class in between has less stake in the status quo than either the dependent bottom or the high-income top. Why bother fighting for a dwindling stake in a corrupt system? If you can't join the high-income top 5%, then the rational choice is to opt out or slide into the lower class that qualifies for full state benefits.

Yes I see... Democrats are trying their damnedest to prevent President Trump from succeeding. Democrats are more interested in gaining power than helping the American people.
