I would be counted in the same category as brooklynite, mid level management employed at will. I saw nothing in that post referencing incremental change or advocating for pragmatism. I believe brooklynite, like me, is concerned for the plight of children living in poverty and homelessness. Being somewhat stably employed, who is ever without fear of losing a job when you can be let go at any moment for any or no reason, and counting oneself in the middle class does not any way mean that person should be counted among the "Rich"

Just my thoughts.
