The fact that he uses canned phrases like "dwindling middle class" shows that he's not doing any original thinking, he's simply parroting what he's heard/read and absorbed from other sources, while not examining what those phrases might actually mean, in the slightest. It's just mindless regurgitation of liberal boilerplate.
The way in which leftists hear something and then believe it so absolutely and so intensely is really and truly like a type of primitive and superstitious religious faith. They hear some canned phrase that sounds good and they believe it with a burning, totally unquestioning fervor. He might as well be pointing his finger and shouting "Witch, witch!" at you. It's the same type of emotional hysteria.
