Re “Thank you, Mitt Romney” (H. Brandt Ayers column, Aug. 19):

Oh no, thank you, Star Publisher H. Brandt Ayers. I have been telling people that President Obama is mainly intent on the destruction of the middle class. You verified that in your statement “where rich and middle class pay their fair share.”

Our fair share? We fight the wars, keep this economy moving and are the backbone of the American way of life. We are the economic and political soul and hope of America and thus the main target of left-wing hatred. Of course, you only inherited minor wealth, and the phrase “you didn’t build that” applies totally. The middle class frightens people like you and Obama, who call us “those who have been more fortunate.”

As Japanese Admiral Yamamoto purportedly said after Pearl Harbor, “I fear that all we have done today is awaken a great sleeping giant.” That was the middle class, and it woke up angry and vengeful. Do you hear us growling?
