The American Middle Class

Do we in the American middle class have more money to give American billionaires?
No. No we do not.
We don't have sprinkler systems. We need firemen.
We don't have security personnel, or the Secret Service. We need our police forces.
We don't have millions in quarterly interest and investment incomes. We need jobs.
We don't have drivers, or several Cadillacs. We need affordable cars.
We have to go to ordinary jobs. We need our children in public schools.
We don't have house visits from physicians. We need health care, well-paid nurses, and hospitals.
You know what we mean, because when we all work to fund the  government you want money
guaranteed by to invest in Bain Capital-type ventures. You want government
contracts for construction, aircraft, motor vehicle fleets, think tanks, caterings, and any number of
other things.
You therefore have nothing to complain about. You know exactly why we need our money, or more
specifically why we don't have more money to give you. You have enough of our money already.
Whatever else we have, we need it for ourselves. Get it?
