The middle class has just fallen further and further behind the rich.

Right now, America's middle class is struggling to meet their basic needs.

You can only choose between rich and poor. The middle class is gone.

We are not going back to the failed policies of the past. We are fighting for the middle class!

Both chronic, long-term poverty and downward mobility from the middle class are in the same category of things that America likes not to think about.

The middle class creates us rich people, not the other way around.

Doing nothing while the middle class is hurting. That's not leadership. Loose regulations and lax enforcement. That's not leadership. That's abandoning our middle class.

We of the sinking middle class may sink without further struggles into the working class where we belong, and probably when we get there it will not be so dreadful as we feared, for, after all, we have nothing to lose.

By 2035, there will be almost no poor countries left in the world. Almost all countries will be what we now call lower-middle income or richer.

We don't want to go back to the same policies and the same practices that drove our economy into a ditch, that punished the middle class, and that led us to this catastrophe. We have to keep moving forward.
