The tax-paying, quick-footed, shrewd and in some cases crooked salaried middle class keeps the giant machine of the economy moving while the rich siphon in cash and the poor the muscle.

In the midst of updates on pay cuts and job losses, they see a potential slide out of the bracket, down with the trodden. There's nothing more needed than a year's adversity to undo years of a decent run. It has the status of the typical middle class family's middle child.

They get tricked or perhaps cheated rather, budget after budget. The need for the hour is for the Govt to make sure the middle fall and disintegrate. For long the middle class has been the USP for our country and there is no science in saying, that on a global level you loose your USP you loose your footprint.
