On December 17, 2011, a group of citizens from Ventura County, California gathered together to sing a song specifically written to support America's Middle Class. The song is entitled "Middle Class Destruction." The song is meant to identify some of the reasons why many of us feel frustrated with America's self-inflicted financial crises and our dysfunctional political system.

Middle Class Destruction Our financial world, it is explodin’ Housing n’ jobs are all implodin' You're old enough to vote, so why aren’t you votin' You graduated school with giant loans you're totin' We’re in this sea of debt and we’re just barely floatin’ Yeah, my blood's so mad feels like coagulatin' I'm sitting here just contemplatin' It’s clear Wall Street needs more regulation But a handful of Senators don't pass legislation And marches alone can't make a fair nation When working class respect is disintegratin' We’re 99 percent and it’s just too frustratin' But you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you don't believe It’s Middle Class Destruction. But you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you don't believe It’s Middle Class Destruction. Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say Can't you see the fears that I'm feelin' today? that our Middle Class is just goin’ away Foreclosures, healthcare, education to pay Take a look around ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy Wall Street was bailed out, they’re too big to fail But these cardboard cowards should all be in jail You can hide your profits and not leave a trace But bailing out Wall Street was intention misplaced And Congress is paid to show their best face But decisions they make are a disgrace You won’t help the poor, but don’t forget to say grace But you tell me Over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you don't believe It’s Middle Class Destruction. And… tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend You don't believe It’s Middle Class Destruction. Mm, no no, you don't believe It’s Middle Class Destruction.
