There are many guarantees for the middle class. You are guaranteed to pick up the tab for illegal immigrants and the perks they receive from our hard-earned money. You are guaranteed to pay more taxes than the extremely wealthy.
You are guaranteed to carry the burden of welfare recipients who illegally collect benefits without being reviewed by our government. You are guaranteed to pay for the bailouts of big corporations so they can receive their big bonuses.
You are guaranteed to vote for politicians who will promise one thing and do another.
I guess what I'm saying is that middle class Americans are guaranteed to become extinct.
