The people who complain about their taxes getting stuff for poor people

42. I will see that and raise you.

The fact is, this economy shows that what used to be middle class really was not. I could talk about how many of the old jobs that gave a paycheck and pension were just jobs unions protected, that the jobs that got you that car and house were still working class, as opposed to the way the middle class is defined by Marxists. Joe six-pack is not a European burgher, and America spent a lot of time trying to convince him he was, that he was a future millionaire in waiting, as Steinbeck put it. No, what is really telling is that a lot of the diploma carrying professionals are now not even remotely as secure as they used to be. If their job was not outsourced, they have the honor of living in some gentrified neighborhood which previously was a ghetto, and paying an outrageous rent that could buy a small farm elsewhere, but would leave them without a way to get to their jobs, even with a commute most busdrivers would balk at. The thing the would be middle class and/or pseudo intellectuals who do support whoever lowers taxes omit is that soon, even the luckiest , the millionaires, are low on the totem pole, just the last by of food for the billionaires. Even Hillary might find that her friends are not so postal, to say nothing of the Republicans who are still suckung their thumb wondering why the media anointed Trump instead of the usual suspects, hey Jen, they do not need to anymore!!
