(2,322 posts)--they usually want to move up. And they're happy enough to use the poor and working class as stepping stones to do that.
To be fair, however, the middle class can also be the class that supports the poor and wants to help them come up. The job providers and the ones who change unjust laws. They can be the liberal minded side and adverse to the rich. But over the last twenty years the oligarchs have brainwashed everyone into believing that they can magically be rich if they're willing to blame each other. And so even the usually level-headed middle class weren't seeing clearly. Obama's overwhelming election over Romney shows, I think, that everyone is waking up from this opium dream to the reality. Which is that they had it good at middle class and that the oligarchs are playing everyone for suckers.
