Working class whites - when did we lose them?

[CompanyFirstSergeant]

57. I'm somewhere between working class and upper middle class...

...depending on the day of the week.

I've been a soldier, a teacher, construction worker, etc. etc. etc.

The upper middle comes from my wife, who has almost a decade of college.

I don't resent women, 'people of color,' alternate lifestyles, people for being different, wanting a fair deal of life, equal rights, none of that.

Life and personal well being is not a zero sum game.

What I do have a problem with is near-zero percent interest rate on my savings, and that my children have to pay into their health care coverage when mine was free for so many years. I have a problem with a nearly 500 billion dollar a year trade defecit and almost 20 Trillion in debt.

I vote my children's interests - and probably most people their age's interest - no matter their color, gender, preference or anything else.
