Yours is a good question....'sig.
To my way of thinking, the people who 'advance....due to middle class jobs,....are replaced (via a natural progression) of others in the lower class, to the 'spot vacated by the guy who cracked-into the middle class.

WJC signed welfare reform, and the country coincidently was crusin' right along economically.
Makes sense to me.
There were plenty of reasons why President Obama’s $787 trillion economic stimulus bill, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, received no Republican votes in the House of Representatives.
But one rarely mentioned reason was tucked away in the more than 1,000 pages of crony capitalist spending -- a provision ending the work requirement for the food stamp program.
