The USA has been infiltrated. I think you're confusing demoralization and degradation mechanisms with the need to eliminate the middle class. What you're experiencing instead is them flooding the US with more debt slaves who they can bribe with gibs to vote for the right people. This doesn't mean they're siphoning the middle class away. That would ruin their whole system. There has to be people that produce so others can mooch off of. You're seeing forced redistribution of wealth, and increasing amounts, in order to make these bribes. Without the productive middle class, this system wouldn't be possible. I understand what you're saying man. I really do. I even see why you think that's the case. But competence is not expendable. I can assure you.
