For many years, the middle class and professional class people have aligned themselves firmly with those above, distancing themselves from those below. A good bit of the middle class, if not a majority, was a pillar of the republican voting block. These people believed in a more prosperous future, moved to the burbs, wanted lower property taxes, and the majority whites avoided living with people of color.

It was impossible to persuade the middle class to stand in solidarity with the African Americans, the poor, and immigrants (who wasn't yet competitive to your average middle class worker). The conservative hope of an American Dream seemed much more realistic then than now.

Let's face it. A strong middle class has always been more in favor of the GOP than the democrats. What really works for the democrats are the following:
  • Increasing the population of the people of color, most of whom rely on more government than middle class whites.

    Increasing the number of immigrants. a larger workforce lowers labor cost and reduces Union strengths. With that, the middle class financial interests are no longer served by conservatives. Jobs gone. Benefits gone. Opportunities gone. When the middle class person sees the dim future, they recognize that GOP economics is not their playground anymore. What is in their interest is to vote for the party that promises goodies for them, to relieve them from declining standards of living and increasing cost of healthcare. It may not be in your value to support the democrats. But it is in your selfish interest to do so now.


Sure, a certain percentage of the white middle class will stick to their conservative politics, but they are going to be the minority. Immigrants and people of color will shift the power balance. Middle class and poor whites will have to fight with immigrants and overseas workers. But the edge tilts toward the democrats.

The republicans get merely cheap labor. The democrats get cheap votes. Cheap votes will outcompete cheap labor. Then, the save cycle continues. Those that became citizens see their labor cost unfavorable to employers. Many are the permanent underclass put on the government dole, in community organizing events, and firmly behind the Democratic Party out of no other choices. Meanwhile, no one wants to hire expensive labor. Employers turn to more migrant labor for reducing their cost. This future labor would conveniently become a voting block for the capitalist and multicultural left.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, a strong middle class does not serve the interests of the Democratic Party. Why try persuade people to support you when they have options, at a time when you can make them support you by allowing no other options?

But this isn't really a fight between America's two parties. They have been one business party for a long time and won't change anytime soon. This is to transform the us into a different kind of country. It is a country without much of a middle class. What it will have, other than the rich and elite, are the poor workers who either mindlessly listen to am radio (of decreasing popularity) or who mindlessly support the Democratic Party thinking that these politicians will bring them and their children prosperity with multicultural food and enrionmental activism.

People, get prepared. You won't get what you want with either party. It's all in the plans. They did their homework. It'll be a long century for most Americans. The biggest winner, though, people's republic of China.
