Can you define middle class?

If you are asking will the majority of Americans ever embrace Socialism, I think probably, to a certain extent, they already have in America. It has merely arrived in different clothing but it has yet to be validated by the electorate.

For example, consider the size of the government. Consider the cost of the government. Most of the budget goes to entitlements. Also consider:

AMTRAK
US Postal Service
Social Security
Chrysler Bailout.
The growing trend of Universal Health Care
Medicare
Medicaid
Subsidized mass transit

The nose of the camel is in the tent and it won't be long before the average American is out of the tent and the entire Camel is in his tent.

I suppose I could go on but I hope I have made my point.
