hardly.

the middle class hasn't had a pay increase in 10 years. the wealthiest
1% have seen their incomes triple in the same time.

taxes haven't gone down. nor has cost of living.

the middle class needs a tax reduction. the rich got theirs.

You are with JPS and bitching that the 9% of the population between
$100,000 and $250,000 a year are having a tough time? Well I suppose
the other 85% making it in less says tough ****.
The 3% over $250,000 did just get their taxes raised, a lot.

Sad when people think that less than $100k is near poverty. Maybe they
should associate with the real middle class. Those ringing up the groceries
in the grocery store. Clerks in a local store. The clerk in the local
legal drug store. The machinist at the local automotive machine shop, the
local mechanic.

just demonstrated by the mine owner who killed 25 miners.

the middle class is expendable.

there are no unions in the US.

the middle class has voted for politicians who destroy them,
preferring to be protected by wall street.

The mine in which 29 died this week was not a union mine. The CEO has a
long rep as a union buster.

So your union is powerless. Next they will need to scrap their healthcare
insurance.

You seem confused about who the middle class are. There are NO middle
class miners if you use JP's criteria. The miner's doctor might not
even be middle class.


Well... interesting. What would you call someone who makes between, say $50K
and $80K per year? Poor or rich?

JP calls them working class.


I don't think it matters what they're called.... working class seems
appropriate. Are they in the leisure class?

Well, you keep voting for more taxes and more government, it is going to
raise prices to pay the taxes.
