SAVE THE WESTERN PA MIDDLE CLASS STRONGLY RECOMMENDS "COMING APART" BY CHARLES MURRAY
From this book: " I am hoping for a ,civic Great Awakening among the new upper class. It starts with a question that I hope they will take to heart: How much do you value what has made America exceptional, and what are you willing to do to preserve it?" Who is going to stand up for our region's Middle Class?

Turzai Trying to Help Congressional Republicans End Medicare
Republican House Majority Leader Mike Turzai is launching an attempt to join the extremist Republican Congress’ efforts to end Medicare while protecting tax breaks for billionaires.
“Western Pennsylvanian voters will strongly reject career politician Mike Turzai’s attempt to join Washington Republicans’ extreme agenda of ending Medicare while protecting tax breaks for billionaires and Big Oil,” said Josh Schwerin of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “Mike Turzai’s backroom dealing can’t hide his extreme anti-middle class agenda after he voted for more crowded classrooms, higher tuition costs, property taxes hikes and more layoffs.”
Background
Turzai Called Extreme Anti-Middle Class Agenda “An Outstanding Blueprint.” In 2011, Turzai supported Gov. Tom Corbett’s budget, which called for “deep cuts in education and the elimination of hundreds of state jobs,” as well as increasing the future likelihood of higher property taxes. “I think it’s an outstanding blueprint for the state of Pennsylvania,” Turzai said of the plan.

DOES THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA MIDDLE CLASS NEED ITS OWN RE-INCARNATION OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR?
"Yes Jesus. I want to be on your right or your left side. Not for any selfish reason. I want to be on your right or your left side, not in terms of some political kingdom or ambition. But I just want to be there in love and in justice and in commitment to others, so that we can make of this old world a new world." MLK THE DRUM MAJOR INSTINCT In this new cold world of globalism, who is standing up for the Western Pennsylvania Middle Class?? The hard-working Chinese have an aggressive government representing their interests. Who is representing our hard-working Western Pennsylvania people?? I hope all our leaders have not sold out to Beltway lobbyists and Wall Street elites!

When Mitt Romney Came To Town
Capitalism made America great - free markets, innovation, hard work - the building blocks of the American Dream. But in the wrong hands some of those dreams can turn into nightmares. This film is about one raider and his firm and how they destroyed that dream for thousands of Americans and their families - Mitt Romney and Bain Capital.

"Despite this economic drama, the greatest of our time, America's politicians and even academics have consistently underestimated the effects of globalization, looking inward for explanations of events when the major drivers are global. America is so used to being the center of attention, the number one country, that is hasn’t been able to fathom the magnitude of global changes taking place around it."

OUR REACTION TO PITTSBURGH BEING NAMED THE WASHINGTON POST'S "IN CITY" OF 2012
Of course Beltway elites think Pittsburgh is an IN CITY. Their Beltway policies have de-industrialized our region. Their Beltway policies have destroyed our middle-class egalitarian culture. Now that the Middle Class has been destroyed, Pittsburgh becomes a nice place for Beltway elites to weekend and see "real" people at our beloved Primanti's. Who is speaking up for the Western Pennsylvania Middle Class?
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES KNOW ALL ABOUT AUSTERITY
"The optimism underpinning our politics and our social policy depends on the conviction that success in this country is not zero-sum. This belief is fast eroding. In its place, a creeping distrust is sapping the optimism from our system, perhaps the most crucial quality in what has made us an "exceptional" nation." THE AGE OF AUSTERITY by Thomas Byrne Edsall

From Arianna Huffington
"…as I look at our great sprawling country, we are obviously not yet a Third World nation. But we are well on our way. This is the unspoken fear of so many out-of-work Americans and those still at work but anxious about their futures and the futures of their children."

"….Abramoff's rise in Washington had been facilitated by two stars in the conservative movement: Grover Norquist, the combative anti-tax activist who ran Americans for Tax Reform, and Ralph Reed….Both men had been Abramoff's political allies for almost a quarter century and both played helpful roles in his Indian casino work and benefited financially."

DOES THE AMERICAN BISON HAVE BETTER ADVOCACY THAN THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA MIDDLE CLASS?
The Bison and the Western Pennsylvania Middle class are both endangered species and both have been treated cruelly. Unfortunately, while the extinction of the Bison is thought to be a preventable event, the Western Pennsylvania middle class is sold out by political hacks every day.

From Jack Abramoff
" For at least eighty years, the most consistent urge in Washington has been to accumulate power and sanctimoniously proclaim you are doing so for the good of the nation. Sometimes it's true. More often it's not. But regardless of the whether one is using power for good or ill, the potential for corruption is always present, as I painfully learned."

Does the Middle Class of Western PA need a lobbyist?
Consider our site to be the lobbyist for Western Pennsylvania's forgotten Middle Class.
WHO DE-INDUSTRIALIZED WESTERN PA?
Club for Growth founder, Stephen Moore writes: "Today in America there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in a manufacturing (11.5 million). This is almost the exact reversal of the situation in 1960, when there were 15 million workers in manufacturing and 8.7 million collecting a paycheck from the government."
