Sen. Jon Kyl’s Sick of Hearing About “Middle Class”, Wishes President Obama Would Just Shut-Up

Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) doesn’t care too much for the middle class, and he made that sentiment known on Monday.

Kyl said that President Obama talks about the middle class all the time, and he’s tired of it.

“We have a president who talks incessantly about class, particularly the middle class,” Kyl said.

According to Kyl, even the term “middle class” is “misguided and wrong” (maybe he’d prefer “soon to be serfs” ) and “even dangerous.” And by talking about the middle class, Kyl says President Obama is ”spreading economic resentment [that] weakens American values” and ignoring “the uniquely meritocratic basis of our society.”

In fact, Kyl doesn’t think we should have any discussion of class at all.

“I just think the whole discussion of class is wrong. It’s not what we do here in America,” said Kyl. He added, “I don’t think there’s anything called ‘middle class values’ that are different from the values of other people in this country. Tell me what’s different about the values of someone who the president identifies as middle class?”

Sen. Kyle goes on to say that we should not be discussing inequality because such discussions are un-American.

“When Michael Jordan came, after he established how great he would be, he was given an enormous, almost unheard of salary. Did the other players say, ‘That’s not fair?’ No, actually all the other players got big salary increases, too,” Kyl said. “The whole franchise did well, the people selling popcorn, the people parking the cars … made more money than they ever would have had Michael Jordan never came to the team.”

And that’s Kyl’s solution to inequality in America: Stop talking about it, adore the rich, and then things will just take care of themselves.

    He is sick of hearing about the middle class and I am sick of racist. The middle class is not all black either and I hope you are smart enough to know he is talking about your poor behind. Tell him to have his main man Willard to bring up those tax returns. We are smart enough to know some of the many things he is hiding. Be smart and vote your interest. Obama 2012 All politics is local get rid of him at the ballot bo. Pray

    Bigotry is not just racial and ethnic, it is class orientated. Sen. Kyl just proved that point.

    Whether the Senator like it or not Mr. Obama is our President and should be respected even by a U.S. Senator. This is a free country where stifling of opinions is not cool. The Senator should be more concerned about bringing Congress together rather than nick picking a class statement.

    THE WHITE RUN AMERICA IS CONTROLED BY SATANIC PEOPLE AND ALL THEY HAVE DONE FOR AMERICA IS TO RAPE ROB AND MURDER IN AMERICA AND OUTSIDE OF AMERICA. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE IMPRISONED AND REAP THE SAME TREATMENT THAT THEY HAVE FORCED ON INNOCAENT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE AND WERE DOING AND THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT ANYONE INCLUDING THEMSELVES. THEY ARE JUST DECEIVING SOME PEOPLE INTO THINKING THAT SOMETHING GOOD MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE END WHEN THEY KNOW THEY ONLY WANT DESTRUCTION. WAKE UP INNOCENT MORAL AMERICA AND LETS FORM A REALL GOVERNMENT FOR TRUTH AN JUSTICE FOR ALL NOT JUST SOME!!! DOUGLA K STEWARD 2024877564

    He is speaking to his base. He ignores labels such as Blue Collar and White Collar and Poor White Trash which have been bantered about for more than a century. He promotes his desire to shut up the opposition with the presentation of a lie. Class has always been discussed in America. The stratification of the American Society has always been known and voiced. The rich are privatizing the Prisons
    and building regional internment centers with other peoples money.
    The rich are financing eugenics in Africa with the altruistic propaganda that states that the women want this. The love of money is at the root of all evil. We love our children and discipline them. Will the rich be disciplined? If you adore/worship the rich you set him up to be a false god and are condemned with him.
