When I moved to Montgomery County in 2008, I was struck by how the middle class had largely been driven out and how the morons in Takoma Park drove everywhere. Well, things have just gotten worse. From 2005 to 2022, the county added 88,000 low-income residents and lost 26,000 middle class ones, with the middle class shrinking to 18% of the county's population. Meanwhile, the median household income hasn't kept pace with inflation since 2005, and the county ranked dead last in income growth among 30 countries with similar population across the country.
The security apparatus hates a strong middle class because they know it is the foundation for a strong democracy that opposes their evil.
