This… is actually not a bad article. I would recommend it and maybe form your own opinions on the topic afterward. I do feel that the term “middle class,” while perhaps useful in some cases, mostly obscures the social situation in which we often find ourselves in. Well, certainly better than the People’s World articles, at the very least.
That would be the understanding that me and several other comrades have of the working-class or proletariat, but I’ll say no more on this topic as I’m trying to keep an open mind, but I get the sense that a lot of government and other statistical analysis hides the social reality of a lot of US workers.
Because, damn, I’ve certainly seen some pretty miserable people the last time several times in each of the jobs that I held; it’s pretty damn disgusting what goes on.
