The middle class is alive and well, I still don't get the war cry from the libs that it's only rich and poor left. Pretty much everybody I know would be considered middle class, and looking at the houses still being built all over the twin cities, it seems that more are coming here as well. I suppose some will actually believe the media's class warfare farce, but if you actually look around, I think you'll see you're being scammed.

And for outsourcing, it's just going to happen as long as people are demanding more for their money, it's a natural evolution. Plus, with the unions still over-inflating wages even in a recession, while at the same time reducing productivity, employers have to either find a cheaper solution, or close the doors. Add to that the highest corporate tax in the world, and you see why businesses are leaving MN for states with less corporate tax, and larger companies leaving the US for cheaper labor and overhead. I'm not for outsourcing, but sometimes you have to adapt in the business world to stay in business and get ahead.
