Percolate up, a comment on HuffingtonPost.com

As fijisailor wrote, "The prosperity of America has always been based on a large middle class."

What the elite believe is that "trickle down" feeds the middle class. It doesn't. "Trickle down" feeds a banana republic.

"Percolate up" from the working class earning a living wage for an adult worker is what feeds a vibrant middle class. Only a viable working class is large enough to need the number of teachers, doctors, lawyers, craftsmen, etc. to create the kind and size of middle class that produced the greatest society in the world.
