The middle class will be gone if we continue to raise taxes in the US and have social programs that we just can't afford.

It will equal everyone out in a sense and we will be left with the really rich and the rest.

As opposed to now? I couldn't find a good article to link, but I think it's relatively common knowledge at this point that for a while now money has been flowing from the middle classes into the coffers of the rich. I recall reading that the top 1% have 4 times as much wealth as they had 30 years ago.
