Describes our out-of-control government perfectly It was a gesture of contempt, a howl of rage, the end result of decades of selfish. Unwise decisions made by selfish and unwise leaders. A Democratic Republic cannot work if there is no middle class. Tucker Carlson describes our out-of-control government perfectly with an analogy from Plato's The Republic: You are on a ship in the middle of the ocean when ". . . the crew has become incompetent. They have no idea how to sail . . . As waves wash over the deck, they're awarding themselves majestic new titles and raising their own salaries. You look on in horror, helpless and desperate. You have nowhere to go." Could this be why America elected Donald Trump? Could it be that the average American was tired of the elitists running the country? "Trump's election wasn't about Trump. It was a throbbing middle finger in the face of America's ruling class. It was a gesture of contempt, a howl of rage, the end result of decades of selfish and unwise decisions made by selfish and unwise leaders." The changes in the way politics operate in this country began with the decline of the middle class. A Democratic Republic cannot work if there is no middle class. For the first time in our history as a nation, the United States is no longer a middle-class country. We have truly become a nation of the haves and the have-nots, with a quickly dwindling middle class.
