From Gil Smart’s column, The end of the middle class”:

“’Neoserfdom’ is the term Hudson uses. That growing gap between the rich and the poor? It has to widen even further. The fruits of society can no longer be broadly shared; instead they must be concentrated at the very top. This is trickle-down on steroids, backed by those who stand to gain the most but also by many in the misguided middle who have been slipping for decades and have been convinced by the likes of Fox News that it’s all the lazy poor people’s fault, that funneling more money to the very top will somehow benefit the upstanding middle classes.”

WATCHDOG: Smart has learned to use his column to pass along and then comment and expand upon the thinking of others.  Three shakes of the tail for the improvement!
