Zim yes when the middle class suffer the rich suffer but not as bad and they tend to recover better due to the fact they can invest their millions else where making them not suffer as much.Besides if companies can get cheap labour they will take it making there bottom line better even if its only marginally better they will still do it.This world will do just fine with just 2 classes of people the rich and the poor,well not fine for us but you know what i mean.But the rich dont seem to understand that if you have just 2 classes of people the lower class people will not put up with it for too long hence the French Revolution and i think to some degree the governments know this so to say that the middle class will be no more well im not so sure we will have to wait and see.
