And that has been the master plan all along. It's called neo-feudalism. The people pulling the strings behind the scenes hate the idea of a middle class. We're not talking about the "1 percent", we're talking about the 1% of the "1 percent". And most people have absolutely no idea about this.
Elizabeth Warren predicted this some time ago as well. The rich are expected to do well as is the professional class, but people that divorce or have large medical bills and the rest of society is going to move up and then fall back down again. The BRIC countries will have a rising middle class though.
And her source was a poll asking people what they think will happen. She never used actual data. Looking at CBO numbers, the incomes of people in the bottom two fifths of income classes has risen by over 20% beyond the pace of inflation since 1979.
Let's look at actual numbers, not polls of opinion by CNN.
Yeah, opinion polls are not a substitute for real research.
It used to be the opinion that people got sick because of demons and bad blood, or thunder was angry gods battling it out. Now society laughs about how ignorant they were.

You tell me..the government subsidizing 400% above poverty line means the middle class aren't hurting ?

Firstly, provide evidence of that number being real.
Secondly, if some one (or something) is hurting...does that mean they will cease to exist? You are making a false dichotomy, that if everything isn't completely okay it means dooooooooooom. People have been trying that same argument since...well, recorded back to the black death in Europe in church writings.

That's exactly what all of Obama's redistributionist (that's how he's described himself in the past) policies are meant to do, too.
It's always the middle class that disappears. And it happens by design.
People making $15K a year (that's below FPL) are labeled "struggling middle class".
What does that tell you folks ?
We're turning into a 2 class system here and most are oblivious to it.
It's not that the middle class will disappear; it's that what is middle class is being slowly redefined.
