1. The premise of the article is wrong to begin with, no one "class" is "ruining America". 2. Upper middle class is nothing but a construct that would better be defined as the "affluent". Those with money, or enough money that they aren't going to be hurt by a tax increase, but are so conservative that they think they shouldn't have to pay taxes. 3. He never defines what is "best" in this country. 4. Uses the "National Review" as a source. A known site or racist articles. 5. No mention of the Republican plan to deny President Obama victory on any legislation: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/post/biden-mc... 6. No mention of white privilege. 7. No mention of conservative efforts to restrict voting to for minorities and young people. He just mentions that the affluent vote at " vote at substantially higher rates than those less well-off". This is a big one, because with this could actually change things, but again no mention of what conservatives are doing.

Again, the article is a waste of time.
