      We’ve really bastardized the terms middle class and working class. It’s feeding into the class warfare that is being used against us.

      If you have to physically work for a living, you are working class. Let’s point our ire at the correct people here.

        Speaking of class only contributed to class warfare only insofar as you see class warfare as the inevitable outcome of class distinctions.

      the working class is the middle class.

      unless you mean people who are in poverty.

      The middle class doesn’t exist. Everyone thinks they’re middle class.

      It’s not a “who is suffering more” contest. Bad things are bad things because they’re bad.
