The economic squeeze began in earnest on America's middle class & the poor with the advent of the Reagan Administration. After Reagan gave huge tax cuts to the rich, & the deficit sored, Reagan faced a dilemma. In order to bring the nation's budget more in line, Reagan decided to double the Social Security tax (only on the working class) & to double the gasoline tax, knowing full well that such measures would hit the middle class & the working poor by far, the most. Dubya has simply expanded the government's war on the middle class & the poor.
