They're not the real owners in society, they just support the owners. Until they support the working class.

Actually, IMO, "middle class" has morphed itself into more of an economic status term. It leaves out most of the social and political connotations that working class has.

But as to Santorium's statement, he's an idiot. An uneducated idiot at that.
