In the mean time, the divide between rich and poor will exponentially worsen, and the middle class will continue to shrink over time regardless of if we elect Democrats or Republicans.
I'm afraid this is all too true. The fact that the great middle class choose to vote against their own self-interest is becoming increasingly unimportant as it becomes increasingly inevitable. It is like a bunch of guys going into a bar and ordering drinks - until finally the bartender says, "You guys have a big tab - time to pay up." The guys with money pay up - the guys swept up in the comeraderie of playing with the big boys can't pay their share and their new "friends" are suddenly strangers. Republicans - hah! They have gamed the middle class and the poor into voting for them. Once they're elected - sayonara, suckers!
