Murder of Middle Class

Wayne Allyn Root is certainly not shy about assigning blame and expressing his opinion about what we need to do to get the economy moving again. The former Libertarian vice presidential nominee is a fixture on many radio and TV shows. He was a classmate of Barack Obama at Columbia University and holds very different views from the president. That is clear in his new book, The Murder of the Middle Class.

On my radio program he lamented the destruction of the middle class and set forth “A Middle Class Contract with America.” But before he got to solutions he creatively talked about the crime scene, the chief suspect, the accomplices, the motive, and the murder weapons. The first part of his book is depressing when you consider the extent of government spending, the loss of middle class jobs, and our declining wages.

In his previous book, The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide, he documented the depressing fact that the president was on track to add $12 trillion to the national debt. When you add to this student loan debt and the ticking time bomb (as he calls it) of Obamacare, the picture of America in the future looks bleak.

Nevertheless, he believes there are things that our elected representatives can and should do to turn around a stagnant economy and the decline of America’s middle class. One thing he says we should do is follow: “The Seinfeld Strategy.” On the TV show, George Costanza is a colossal failure. One day that all changed. He explained to Jerry that he realized that every decision he made was wrong. So he decided to do just the opposite of what he normally would do. He became successful.

Wayne Allyn Root is often asked on programs what he would do differently. His answer is simple: everything. It is his “George Costanza” philosophy of government. His ideas of a National Income Tax Vacation along with his Middle Class Contract With America are radical ideas that would jump-start the economy. Let’s hope some members of Congress read the book and apply his principles.
