Oh, i see you have stumped onto one of the main inconsistencies of capitalism
The early 80s will happen again until the late 90s come back, So Reagan then Clinton. Crime will go up, Graffiti, homeless etc The rent is skyrocketing like when Reagan took over. The economy works when the middle class does well and we can’t keep funneling the money higher up. When the middle class can afford a home and cooperations stop buying them up to lease that might help.
The upper class: keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class: pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there…just to scare the shit out of the middle class." -George Carlin’
That’s the way the ruling class operates in any society: they try to divide the rest of the people; they keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they, the rich, can run off with all the fucking money. Fairly simple thing… happens to work…" -George Carlin
Middle class does all the work? LOL They are mostly fucking leeches making useless shit and legitimising the upper class. Also they are a minority.
The problem here is that everyone has a different definition of “middle class”.
I think you’re using the definition of “middle management”, and Carlin was using the definition of “working class”. The lower class would be the poor who have less than full time employment (inconsistent or on welfare, etc), and “the rich” would be people who don’t actually have to work for a living.
The terms are inconsistent.
