Middle Class Shrinks In 9 out of 10 Cities in the US as incomes fall.

19. Of course not. I am advocating immigration and trade policies that actually take the best interests

of the American worker into account. Currently both immigration and trade policies only take the best interests of the one percent and corporations into account. If we had a government controlled by the people, government policies would be designed to be in the peoples best interest. Because we have a government controlled by the one percent and special interests, government policies are designed to further the best interests of the one percent and the special interests. That's why we see the growing gap between rich and poor and are starting to see the destruction of the middle class.

Times are great right now for the rich. They are getting ever richer. Times are not so good for the poor and middle class. The middle class is struggling to make ends meet and the ranks of the poor are growing. Millions more on food stamps etc. All that is no accident. It's policy.

We should always have immigration. It enriches the country. But it should be controlled and regulated like most countries do with the best interests of the citizenry, not the one percent, in mind. Same thing with trade policies.
