Yeah, Reich has it about right. Conservative philosophy since the onset of Reaganomics has been an all out war on the American middle class. This is unfortunate as it's the middle class that created and maintained American affluence, influence, and power. Undermining that, as the conservatives have been doing, is heading the US toward third world status, a nation of have mores and have nots and a severely shrinking middle class. The ability to maintain national infrastructure is rapidly being eroded.

A recent thought about the super-rich who profit from off-shore outsourcing is that they ought not be receiving the benefits of US citizenship or the protections associated with being here. They incorporate their companies off shore to avoid US taxes, store their money in off shore banks. Maybe it's time to send their f'ing carcasses off shore as well and let them live where their money works.
