WHY REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS HATE THE MIDDLE CLASS:

I do not agree with the premises that the republicans and democrats hate the middle class and love corporate America. (Both parties love the middle class, only during election time!) It does not make sense since most of the power that it takes to control the rules related to the laws that favor corporate America lies in voters that are mostly found in the poor and the middle class. Most republican supporters come from the upper middle class who are lead to believe that they have benefited from republican administrations which support corporate America and capital gains.

I could agree that when the upper middle class are voting in favor of the republicans, the democratic party may "dislike" the behavior of the middle class, but not necessarily hate them since they will need their same voting power to take back Washington as you have seen in the election of 2008!

Corporate America is not mandated to create jobs or reinvest its wealth for the benefit of the middle class and the
