It is not World War III yet, but we have now entered a decisive stage in the long war against Moscow.Some historians view the two world wars as a single military conflict with a twenty-year truce in between. In other words, it was a long European war to contain Germany. And while Germany under the Kaiser was quite different from Hiter's Reich, it is possible to trace the roots of Nazi brutality back into German history. There was another long conflict in the 20th century, the war between the democratic West and anti-democratic Russia. However, it is only now, when it is entering its second, "hot" stage, that we are becoming aware that it has been waged all along, and also with a prolonged truce in between active engagements. Actually, it began as a war that didn't happen. In September 1939 Britain and France declared war on Germany because they had been committed to defending Poland from a foreign attack. But Hitler's tanks were not alone in violating the Polish border. Less than three weeks later Stalin's Red Army marched in from the east. Their actions were coordinated by the secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggression pact, which stipulated exactly how much of the Polish territory each dictator would grab.

What does a middle class nation do without a middle class? An abundance of evidence suggests that we here in the United States are about to find out.America's Shrinking Middle Class documents trends that have been building not just since the Great Recession, but for over four decades. In 1970, the share of U.S. income that went to the middle class was 62 percent. By 2010 that figure had fallen to 45 percent. In that same year, the median income for middle class Americans had gone from $72,956 to $69,487 a decline of nearly 5 percent in just one year. A shrinking middle class would mean a shrinking economy and an America dominated by a growing lower class. Life would be less comfortable, less prosperous, and less secure.With less money coming in to government and businesses alike, tax burdens would become onerous. One example: Obamacare. It could cost the average taxpayer nearly $6,000 in extra taxes and create a total of 20 new taxes or tax hikes.For a weakened and shrinking middle class, it could be a fatal blow.
