‘Responsibility for Progressives’ to ‘Reject’ the Middle Class, TV Host Says, Since They Have No ‘Relationship’ to the ‘Poor or People of Color’

Progressive Broadcast Host Juan Gonzalez on Whites & the Poor | Democracy Now

Juan Gonzalez, co-hosts the radio and television program Democracy Now! made some startling admissions about his view on the middle class last week.

Speaking on a panel in Stony Brook, NY, Mr. Gonzales discussed his views on how detrimental the “fixation in American politics with the middle class” is. Gonzales explains:

“The key aspect of constantly raising the middle class in my mind is to exclude the poor and the unemployed from the concept of the people and to exclude immigrant labor from the concept of what American politics is geared to.”

Juan then discussed how politicians and the media coordinate to “confuse” the “working class” and create a societal ideal that discriminates on race and income.

“This concept of the middle class is an attempt to create a buffer zone or sense among the people that there is this other group of people that are not part of the middle class that they have no relationship to at the bottom, the immigrants, poor and largely people of color.”

Progressive Broadcast Host Juan Gonzalez on Whites & the Poor | Democracy Now

The host of the broadly syndicated television and radio show went on to explain that the major goals of the progressive movement in the future should be the elimination of the “concept” of the middle class in American society.

The key responsibility for progressives in my mind is to reject this concept of the middle class–from my perspective as a journalist, buying into the middle class paradigm is the beginning of a dulling of the consciousness for working people in America in the 21st Century.”

    I have often had a problem with the term progressive to define these people. They are espousing ideas that are anything but progressive. The first recorded use of a public dole was in Babylon. Karl Marx penned his ideas 164 years ago. These are old tired worn out ideas. They have nothing to do with a modern future or foward thinking. They are the policies of losers and freeloaders. That is why they are so popular in certain ethnic and racial groups. It is the policy of laziness.

      Mountain:
      I think you need to learn just a bit more about strategy, and I say that with respect. I’ve posted on this topic in the past.

      If you look at the history of communism it has similar associations wherever it rears its ugly head with few exceptions; massive death being one. Mass murder / cleansing would not work here in the states. A softer, more tolerable term needed to be adopted, which gave birth to the modern day progressive. There is a “progressive” caucus within the house and Mr. West has been vilified for referring to them as communists. His point was if you look at their doctrine, they are one and the same; I would say he is correct. The point is that the term is a front for advancing the ideology of communism, but people just don’t make the connection. Until people understand that when they introduce themselves as a progressive, they are truly introducing themselves as a communist, it won’t change. Think of it as a euphemism….the bottom line is, don’t be fooled.

Should read…. “it’s the DESIRE of the progressive to ELIMINATE the middle class .Obamaos’ policies are doing just that. There are MORE, not fewer lower income people than there were 4 years ago. He is actively recruiting food stamp recipients and eliminating the work requirement for welfare. Four more years of Ovomit and there will be no middle class, just the ruling class and the rest of us.

      Gee, a “TV host’s” opinions are given status here? No surprise I guess given that college dropout AM talk show hosts are considered profound thinkers and carriers of the conservative banner.

      No, that’s absurd. America’s distribution of wealth is changing, that much is certain. The very wealthiest, the billionaires, are increasing their wealth at a record pace. The millionairs are also increasing their wealth at a record pace. Those two groups own more and more the wealth of our country. The middle class and poor are gaining very little ground, if any:

      http://advisorperspectives.com/dshort/charts/census/household-income.html?household-incomes-mean-nominal.gif

      Republican policies clearly support the richest. No, don’t object. That American should cut taxes for the rich and pay for that by eliminated programs that support the poor, and raising taxes on you and me and the poor is the conservative posistion. Tax cuts for the rich create jobs and increase government revenue is the talking point, although that’s clearly false and demonstrated historically; i.e. the Bush tax cuts.

      What I don’t understand is the Americans who vote against the best interest of the average American, like you and me, in support of those who would profit off of screwing American workers in order to make a couple of extra million a year. I don’t get it.

      But jzs a high percentage of millionaires and billionaires support everything you believe in, don’t deny it. They wish for people like you to win, to cast down “the system” and create a new world, a better world.

      They didn’t get to be that rich by being overly stupid or overly generous. Do you think it’s possible, just slightly possible, that you have misread the purpose of all these things. That perhaps you and people like you have been played the fools by those you believe are for the same thing you believe in? That giving up all individual freedoms to a centralized international gov. may just, just possibly be for the wealthiest and most powerful to win the full prize. absolute control and absolute wealth worldwide? And they being smart enough to have become so wealthy, know that just asking for all the world wouldn’t work, people need to be tricked into giving it up themselves by being turned on each other and the narrative of being against the wealthy like themselves needs to be controlled by taking over the substance of that narrative and controlling the outcome. That’s where you come in.

      I don‘t stand against this because I’m too stupid to understand what’s good for me. I stand against it because if you take all the malformed logic and emotion out, and look clearly, end in exactly the opposite place you seem to think it will.

What they forget to tell the majority of the now middle class is that they will be required to give up all that they have now so these ideologues can prove their point that the rich are evil money grubbin’ thugs.

      You are spot on that this is a tired and failed ideology it advances nothing but misery, however I would add that people who believe they will not have to work and can sit home and do nothing are mistaken. Only in Europe has that been tried and failed as we see the EU collapsing. The EU is ran by Marxists who thought they could establish a different kind of Communism (nanny state a kinder gentler regime). Obama is not that type of Communist he is of the Maoist and Stalinist type those men did not allow laziness no one could sit home and collect subsidies you were assigned work and if you did not show up or refuse to work you were either sent to labor camps or shot. Later after the death of Stalin the Soviets implemented a method of out casting those who were lazy by taking away their papers and constantly arresting them until they accepted their orders. Citizens, neighbors and family were expected to treat their lazy family members and relatives as outcasts and disrespect them if not they to were arrested. Mrs. Obama has already made speeches about her husband not allowing people to sit and do nothing that you had to perform a service to the state or to the Government in order to receive services or monetary help. Obama’s ideology should be feared anything that resembles Stalin or Mao should be taken seriously, Obama must be voted out of office or we will never get him out as he has stated that this is his last campaign I believe he end our republic.

      I am not clear about what you posted? Are you a fan of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr? Here is just one example of what a sick S.O.B. he was.
      In 1927, Holmes wrote the 8-1 majority opinion in the Buck v. Bell case that upheld the forced sterilization of a woman who was claimed to be of below average intelligence. In support of his argument that the interest of the states in a pure gene pool outweighed the interest of individuals in their bodily integrity, he argued: “We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind.

      Have you talked to any of the citizens that have lost the freedom to use and enjoy their own property due to silly and stupid environmental regulations? (Like the one where they dug a temporary retention basin to store water for their livestock during a drought period? When the drought period was over, they went to fill the hole back in so as to use the land for farming once again, and were not allowed to do so because they were destroying a “wetland”)

      There are many examples like this JZS, in addition to people losing their land completely because of bogus “Eminent Domain” cases where property is siezed, the citizens are paid below market value for it, the property is then sold to a crony of a government official. For a kickback, of course.

      Progressive/Keynsian economics 101

      1. The amount of money you have is in direct proportion to how evil you are.

      2. A middle class should never exist, it should be a classless society, with the central planners as our guiding light

      @Socialism- do you even know what middle class means? It’s a measurement of ones wealth, not a measurement of ones character. What you are speaking about is character issues and there are character flaws within every class. The idiot on the video is no different. If you want to appear stupid, you are doing a good job- sterotyping the members of a particular class of people.

      I consider my family a member of the middle-class but I was raised in poverty- worse conditions than even what is considered impoverished today. And I am sick and tired of people saying that because I belong to this particular group that I can’t understand the poor, or if I have managed to climb my way out of meager beginnings that I didn’t do it on my own. Well, maybe OBAMA didn’t do it on his own, but this girl worked her arse off to get where she is. There were no hand outs for me, there wasn’t anyone willing to invest in MY future. I took the risks, made the decisions, did the work, and by God I should have the right to at least own my individual successes.

      yes the middle-class does not pay its own way then has the gal to call poor people parasites…yeah those middle-class want their entitlements like the rich but want none for the lower classes

Nothing I said was racist in any way. ….Banned. I complained on every conservative site and on FB about it. Suddenly I was back on Huff Post and allowed to comment. However most of my post would not go through I kept it up, over and over again for hours . My computer would freeze up and I would have to shut it down and start over again. One of the points I was trying to make there was that Hillary Clinton was the first one that I heard refer TO herself as a progressive. It got popular for awhile and many proudly claimed to be Progressives, until……Beck exposed what the progressive movement is. Suddenly there was no reference to being a Progressive. Yahoo often blocks me from commenting about any thing political. Here onThe Blaze my computer freezes up as well as FB. I use FB to post political articles. I started using Ghostery and it shows who is monitoring each site. Interesting information.. I believe that we are closely monitored here on the Blaze . I think we would all be surprised if we knew who was behind it. The Blaze doesn’t control it. Our trolls that are here most likely have a part in it connected to them.

Look at every Communist, Marxist and leftist country throughout history and you will see there IS NO MIDDLE CLASS! There are the ruling class party members that live a lavish lifestyle and then there are the masses that barely survive. These leftist leaders and commentators see themselves as being among the ruling class living high on the hog while they tell the starving masses what to think say and do. The leftist are becoming more and more bold and they are no longer trying to hide their true beliefs and desires. They can sense they are very close to achieving their goal of the destruction of the Constitution and the end of Capitalism. I am close to 60 and I can’t imagine the way the world will be when my grandchildren are my age.

If Bibi believes Obama might get re-elected – he will bomb Iran – not good for oil/food prices etc. China is going through a housing bubble that would make ours look mild and their economy is going to flat line. Japan is about to fold and when these things begin to domino the whole fake flat paper world economy will be in ruins. We will be back to local farming and a barter system.

    Does this not sound like the road to serfdom? There will be only 2 kinds of people in obamas new world order. Those that are in charge, and those that do the bidding of the people in charge. Once they have all the power they need we will all be servants….serfs. They will however, use and manipulate those in the ‘middle class’ to get the power they seek. Who is the bigger fool….the fool that leads or the fool that follows!?
    They, the progressives and comunists, are getting bolder and bolder. That can only mean that they are far along in their quest. Stopping them will NOT be easy, but it has got to be done to save the republic. Question those in power…..research the answers and statements they give….find the truth from original sources…..put yourself in the shoes of others and see how things effect them,…..with the knowledge you have gathered, make the choice you think is best. Make it YOUR choice though, not what someone else tells you.
    We are losing our independence, both literally and figuratively. Those that won it for us fought too long and too hard for us to just throw it away. Once freedom is lost, it will take generations to get it back. Are we willing to sleep on our watch and leave posterity to do their job and ours?

They think that the poor are basically people-of-color and immigrants. Did you see ‘white’ in that sentence? Tell everyone you know that the democrats say they ‘don’t need the middle-class’. They said it through their minions and obama has already written off much of the white-middle-class votes. He does not cater nor speak at us or to us. All white people should shun the democratic party and also be rabidly anti-immigrant. Immigrants nowadays are not main or even minutely European whites.

      Not all “immigrants” should be painted with the same brush.

      If I may respectfully disagree with you, Carnac, I would submit that the majority of LEGAL immigrants that come here have willingly renounced any and all allegiance and political ties to their country of origin and have willingly sworn allegiance to the United States, having come here desiring American citizenship and integration into American society, with the attendant benefits of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness. Witness for instance the “boat people” of Cuba and later Vietnam. Legal immigrants from Africa, Asia etc are notable for making good use of the US educational system and rising in the engineering, scientific, electronics and medical fields. I say more power to them!

      An exception could certainly be made for a subset of the followers of a certain Middle-Eastern religious persuasion, which subset tends toward non-integration and which settles into Balkanized communities (Dearborn, Mich. comes to mind).

      I do agree with you, however, on those that have “immigrated” ILLEGALLY, who have no allegiance to the US.

      Curious how those 2 little letters – IL – make such a difference.

      “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

      In 1923, the words, “the Flag of the United States of America” replaced “my Flag”.
      “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

      In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words “under God,” creating the 31-word pledge we say today.
      Bellamy’s daughter objected to this alteration.

      Today it reads:
      “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

      Section 4 of the Flag Code states:
      The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”, should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute.”

      “God” has since been banned in public schools.

      The_Bird_is_the_Word – Wow, you are one classy dude. Gonzo always makes sense unless you are an idiot.

      How about the novel idea of everyone working and achieving. You earn the status you work for. No more handouts. If Illegals are illegal, doesn’t that say it all and they should have no say in our government until they are legal immigrants.

      @The Bird

      Your comment illustrates the problem with progressivism perfectly.

      The American Dream is not to aquire stuff, it is to have the right of self determination through self-governance rather than becoming a defacto slave through the dictates of “our betters”.

      Those of us who value liberty and the constitution do not want for a perfect society, just one where we govern ourselves, flaws and all.

      Yes, I realize you are a troll, which made your comments about intelligence even more laughable. Your resume must be *very* impressive… do you list trolling as skillset above or below flipping burgers?

      @THE BIRD IS THE WORD,
      Tres unbelievable you are !
      Do you not understand that your very post SHOWS you are a PROGRESSIVE?!
      You should feel shame.

      PROGRESSIVES are Monsters. They rear their ugly heads every 40 or 50 years. They are bent on destruction of all things natural and good. They bastardize good. They use it for evil.

      PROGRESSIVES saw an opportunity with the Barry Dunham administration. It seems they have all emerged from the ratholes and sewers they dwell in to open the “Pandora’s Box” of their hate.

      Progressives make the LIE the TRUTH and the TRUTH the LIE! They are bottom dwellers. They go after the stupid and ill informed to increase their minions..

      I hope this 2012 election sends them all back to the sewers they thrive in.

      I post from Wonderland. “Down is up. Up is down. We’re painting the roses red.” And as the Cheshire Cat said to Alice,”We’re ALL mad here.”

      When I was young, we were poorer than dirt. No joke. We didn’t have squat. No food stamps, no public assistance, not jack. I learned 2 lessons: Hard work, setting goals, and tenacity will not only allow you to escape poverty, but it can make you wealthy. Secondly; too much charity creates a culture of lazy parasites.
      My message here is that this Administration is taking away opportunity and shackling a new class of economic slaves. …Class warfare is an invention of the socialist left to create a powerful elite oligarchy.

      I discovered early in life that many poor people want to stay poor… and they often refuse to do the things needed to stop being poor. When I was 19, I worked on a farm during the summer to earn money for college. It was very hard work – in the fields picking up 60-pound bales of hay and throwing them on to a wagon, eight hours a day in the hot summer sun. The job lasted 10 weeks. During that time, I worked with 9 different helpers. They were all what you might call “white trash.” I knew many of them from high school, one of them an infamous “tough guy” bully. They were from poor families. This farmer told me he hired people like this to try to help them “get ahead.” Well, not one of these 9 guys lasted longer than 10 days. They dropped like flies because the work was “ridiculous” or “stupid.” (I saw one of them a few weeks later at the grocery store using – yup – food stamps.) I was the only worker who lasted the entire 10 weeks. (The “tough guy” bully lasted four days! Ha!) After that summer, the farmer refused to hire the poor because they just didn’t have a work ethic.

      GONZO nail’s it again. America has been the haven for all who come here legally and partake in the American Dream. BHO is attempting to destroy this model with his Marxist model presented with the near Fabian Socialism smoothness. WRONG! “We the People” smelled the RAT early on but too late. We handed BHO the torch by having the good ole boy Republicans select their champion; Juan McCain. Therein lies the problem and maybe we have to be grateful were slammed with this half breed in 2009. Now, the Commies have awakened the American spirit in all of us!

      It is common in liberal circles. It is doublespeak. Just think when the cureent President answers a question and it takes 9 minutes. It is words for the sake of words. It is the verbal equivalent of busy work. Beyond that there is not another group of people on Earth that likes the sound of their voice more than liberals.
