Middle class willnever go away... atleast in our lifetime for sure.
The jobs being shipped over seas are mainly production jobs that just cost too much over here to keep people working on them. They are mainly lower to middle class jobs.

That may have been true in the past but things are changing. High paying IT jobs that people went to college to get are now being outsourced to India to people who sometimes have even more college education. A fraction of what we make puts them into the upper class of their society. Americans can not compete on price now, nor are they always the more skilled worker. I'm still pretty conflicted over the whole thing. There are still some major problems with outsourcing IT but it's defintely a big scary unknown and it would be nice to at least encourage keeping jobs hear as opposed to banning outsourcing completely.
