Someone please explain to me why it would be a benefit to anyone to eliminate the middle class? Working poor only weight the system down more with the needed social programs to cover the "poor" side. And if no one can afford the products, will the rich stop being rich themselves? Wouldn't a combined economy also balance out the cost of living? We might get less pay but if the overall cost of living also goes down would anyone even flinch?

Yes I know its sad that every American can't afford there 60 inch HDTV and BMW's when theres people living in starvation all around the world.
