Buick, a big status symbol in China sells four times more cars in China than here. Somebody is buying them.

Even if China and India's middle classes are not yet the percentage of their population as ours, their huge populations are 4 times the size of ours so I'd say those two population segments together represent a lot more people than our fast-shrinking middle class.

I have no problem with the rest of your statement on our emerging fascism (fascism — the merging of corporations and the government which uses the military to further imperialism and corporate interests).
