    To hell with the middle class, what about the working class? You know, the ones that get all the physical labor done so you can get your next day Amazon order before hitting the Starbucks.

      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.

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