The class war. Which side are you on?

this won't be a "class war". It will devolve into a race war, war of nations/nationalities or regions like it always does. Peasant revolts never work out anyways.
 
1. I don't think class is entirely, and perhaps not even primarily, an economic matter.
2. I don't think there is a war between the classes.

I am middle class. I make what I make, because of my union.

Give my employer another 10-20 years, and they will bust my union, and my job will become just like every other shitty job in this country.

So from media, to corruption, to predatory capitalism, you don't agree that a war is being waged against the masses?

Conversely, it does not make you a worse person, either. I know some very wealthy, very good people. Great people, in fact. Who have worked hard for what they have. Very hard.

Not sure where he lives, but that is straight middle or even lower middle some places in the country, upper middle in rural or low-cost areas. $100,000 is pretty solid middle to slightly upper middle in my area, I'd say.

Middle on 2 incomes. Lower middle single. The cost of housing is too damn high.

No great man hoards his money from his fellow countrymen. Every person with no money should be a reminder that they have too much.

Yeah, I guess even here $100,000 is middle and more like $150,000+ for upper middle, I guess. Maybe $175,000.

Less Russia, more coverage on how AT&T engaged in bribery that is technically illegal, but near impossible to prove.

More coverage on how campaign finance is a threat to national security. From all nations, not just Russia.

Shining a light on Trumps Saudi and Israeli connections, and asking if our Iran policy is in this country's interests, or in the interests of Saudi Arabia and Israel.

All of this info is out there and readily available, the Trump faithful refuse to believe it.

We are a capitalist country. We will always have wealthy people, and poor. I refer to an elite, and not just an economic elite, because without the help of the political, and intellectual elite, the harm the moneyed elite could do, would be limited.

GTFO. Not rewarding work is a recipe for disaster in a country. Removing incentive removes the great accomplishments of mankind and striving for innovation and success through hard work. Capitalism is the single best method for those of lower class to improve their lot in life over a single generation, moving from poor to wealthy through hard work. I need all my fingers and toes to count the people I know closely and personally who have done just that, some of them from abject poverty. Nearly half of them, in fact. POVERTY. Now I'm 49 so I've been around a while, just telling you this is the single greatest country that has ever existed for improving the lot of the ordinary man through self-determination. Period.
And for the record, I'm not one of them. lol
I'm lower-middle class, despite my best efforts. At least at this point, I'm not done yet.
 
I think most people that think they are poor or lower middle class have smartphones premium cable X-box and all That shit

U will NEVER be rich if u are spending and not saving. And that is not the fault of some rich dudes that don't even know who u are
