    Even if you have some minor investment in the stock market, you might still be working class…

        It really is. This, plus the creation of a large homeowner class, is the most effective thing America has ever done against socialism in the US. Absolutely destroyed class solidarity by fabricating a new “middle class” that somehow everyone is part of. Tying the majority of the population’s life to the imaginary line will make a lot of people fight and die to protect line go up.

      “Investment” is millions of dollars. Your paltry 500 hundred dollars in stock isn’t even a rounding error.

        Thank you, that’s what I wanted to say. OP’s post doesn’t make this explicitly clear.
