Over the last 50 years, there has been a widening between rich and poor. This has also run through the middle classes. But it's not a 50/50split, it's more 80/20.
There are a lot more living on under $40,000 than on over. I chose the figures as an example. More relying on Government handouts, low wages, seeing worse conditions because of cuts.
That's not a senario that favours a party who represent the reasons for the problems.
