The Elimination of the Middleclass

Is the United States trying to destroy the middle class? The housing bubble removed $7 trillion in wealth from the US economy, specifically, the middle class who owned those houses. Legislation and policies were enacted, under presidents and congresses of both parties, that undermined the integrity of the US housing market. Now, since 2007, we have more than doubled the rolls of US food stamps, from $33 billion-$77 billion, expanding the lower class and further undermining the middle class. The Department of Agriculture is not even checking for assets, only current income levels. This allows people with large savings, even millionaires to enroll.

We continue to see class warfare at every level. The Bible deals with this directly, telling us not to covet what belongs to our neighbor.The word of God also tells us to work with our hands that we can have our own money to give to the caring of the poor and have what we need, removing the need to steal.

But is there something more sinister going on here? Something that transcends political parties and administrations? Do we not understand that it is the nation built on Christian values that has a middle class? It has also been America with her biblical values and middle class that has stood against tyranny and evil around the world.

It is only when we strive to reach the biblical standard that we realize the liberty and justice that the bible promises. What is the alternative to a country without a strong middle class?

I believe that countries without a middle-class will become unstable to allow for the form of government desired by the elite. This government is what has been seen in man’s history. Power is taken from the people, as the Creator had endowed them, and given over those who should serve, but now rule. Setting the stage for uniform worldwide government.
