Why Is America Great?, Part VI, It's the Middle Class

UPDATE II: And who is one of the Republi-con generals in the war on the middle class, our next 'Weeper of the House,' "who has voted against nearly every boost for the working stiff." Read The New York Times, The Tears of John Boehner.


UPDATE: Of course, the future is not lookin good with the Republi-con war on the middle class. "As Justice Louis Brandeis said, 'We can have concentrated wealth in the hands of a few or we can have democracy, but we can’t have both.'" Read The New York Times, Give Up on the Estate Tax.

"America should focus less on losing its star status and more on defending and preserving the gospel of middle-class dignity" and values, including "industry, prudence, ambition, neatness, order, moderation and continual self-improvement." Read The New York Times, Ben Franklin’s Nation.
