The Disappearing Middle Class

And the disappearing poor and working-poor classes, as well. Where are they all disappearing to? The New York Times wants to keep it a secret, but it seems they're "disappearing" into the middle-upper and upper classes.

When even the amateur liberal webzine Slate can so thoroughly -- and so easily -- debunk the NYT's "disappearing middle class" lie, maybe it's time the Times hired reporters who were less kneejerk leftist, or more intelligent, or preferably some mix of both.


Christopher Walken sends this open letter to the Times, in the form of a cowbell-heavy rap.
