(NN) American Economy

"Socialism for the rich and capitolism for the poor"
I agree with this statement but feel it has a flaw in it. It seems that in America today the rich and the poor reap the benefits of a socialist state while the middle class sits back and gets the burden of a capitolist economy laid on their backs. When looking at the economic policies in action right now and the ones being proposed by the two frontrunners for the office of President you see differing plans that all have one thing in common; they don't help the middle class. The ideas being thrown out there are either tax breaks for the rich or extra assistance for those who already have plenty of assistance. Why is there no one trying to help the middle class, which is slowing being drained in order to assist those above and below us? Going back to my last post, the American Dream is a dream of a happy middle class existence, so why don't politicians try to help the middle class? What happens to the American Dream once the middle class is wiped out of existence? Referencing the Marists view, America can't even move to Socialism without a middle class and referencing those who believe in democracy; how can democracy exist without a middle class. Yes it is human nature to want to reach the top as those in the upper class did, as well as it's human nature to take assistance without working for it when it's offered, so if that's how the government runs then why should it be expected that a middle class last?
