it has to shrink under Socialism......, you expect the middle class to expand with bloated government and unprecedented and unsustainable government debt, unprecedented government dependence, flooding illegal immigration?...how will that happen? we're not trying to expand the middle class.... we're working very hard to permanently entrench a very large dependent class to maintain a huge bureaucracy....the middle class is not required to any great degree in a static socialist state, just a broad, powerless working class, dependent on the machinations of a corrupt and powerful government to such a degree that they must continue to support through labor or patronage in order to survive and maintain the state, it's handouts and those that run it....Bernie could tell you that....it's called Utopia.....you see the successful models everywhere...you aren't voting for candidates any longer, you are voting whether or not to maintain and to what degree to enlarge the state(government)....the smaller the middle class and the larger the dependent class........ the more likely the state will be maintained or enlarged....the greatest single threat to a socialist state is a thriving middle class
