The US still has a middle class, it's just been perpetually shrinking for the last ~30-some-odd years.
Anywho, I fully support eliminating the billionaire class (financially, not guillotine style... hate-fueled violence like that tends to spread wildly out of control quite quickly, just like it did in the French Revolution). No one deserves a billion dollars. No one. And yes, I know the majority of billionaires don't literally have billions just sitting in their checking account(s), but they still have access to that kind of money. Regardless, no one ethically attains billionaire status. It's all ill-gotten wealth at the direct and indirect expense of others. It's time to bring back pre-Reagan tax rates on the ultra rich. And while we're at it, go ahead and destroy the Military Industrial Complex (US patch notes) so taxes aren't just being diverted to other ultra rich fuckers in the defense contract business.
