Middle class does all the work? LOL They are mostly fucking leeches making useless shit and legitimising the upper class. Also they are a minority.
Comment on What will happen to large companies once poor people have no more money to use?

The early 80s will happen again until the late 90s come back, So Reagan then Clinton.

The irony of the last quote. Keep fighting while the billionaires take everything.

The problem here is that everyone has a different definition of “middle class”.
I think you’re using the definition of “middle management”, and Carlin was using the definition of “working class”. The lower class would be the poor who have less than full time employment (inconsistent or on welfare, etc), and “the rich” would be people who don’t actually have to work for a living.
The terms are inconsistent.

Yo fuck the middle class, everyone should be thriving if their working. I’m tired of all this middle class shit… what about all the people living in poverty?

People who work full-time jobs used to be middle class. Living wages, affordable housing, yearly vacations, etc. Now, working people are still in poverty.

When?
Do you call camping in a campground a “family vacation” ? because that’s as far as my family had growing up in a pensioned job. We never could afford air travel, fancy new TVs, new cars… our house was very basic, we always drove beaters, we spent years without one thing or another to make it work.
This isn’t the current generation, or the last one, this was even earlier.
Just trying to understand when this idea that anybody in any job could have the white picket fence and world class quality of life. I don’t think that’s ever been the case for the poorest full time workers or even the bottom 50%.

I would…
Sure, we never had the latest and greatest, fixed stuff ourselves and such, but we lived in a home that my parents owned and never really wanted for anything. That, to me, feels like a middle-class upbringing, and is what I’d like to be able to provide my own kids when I have them. However, right now the prospect of owning my own home seems increasingly far-fetched.

They want you hate them. Focus on the rich and seek unity.

Na fuck that, it’s always middle class this and middle class that and the fact is the middle class couldn’t give a fuck about the cashier at Costco living paycheck to paycheck with no Healthcare or enjoyment in their life.
I have solidarity with every worker but as soon as the middle class gets theirs they will abandon us.

Everyone in America is middle class. You can be lower middle class or upper middle class, but you’re never not middle class.

We are all working class.
