Really? How big is that trawler of yours? You're on perpetual vacation
aren't you? If that's middle class, I'm sure a lot of people would
love to sign up.

The trawler is our second home. Having a second home is something of
a middle class tradition where I come from.

Perpetual vacation? That's called retirement by most people. I'm
not really retired however. My new occupations are investment
management and boat maintenance work. :-)

A second home... one of which is a gas hog. Wow... where I come from,
and where most people come from, they only have one home, and if
they're lucky they can make the mortgage payments.

For most people, retirement means living simply and cutting back on
most of the extras.

Sounds to me like you're delusional if you think what you have is
middle class.

If you want to get a true picture of US life expectancy and health,

Not sure why you would cite the former Soviet Union. What point are
you trying to make? Their healthcare system was horrible.

The Swiss have highly regulated insurance.

Feel free to blame the "inner city" for whatever you care to, but
it's, as usual, a nonsense, blame everyone else, attitude. You
obviously are devoid of the facts and devoid of simple human kindness
and fairness. I really pity you.

It's good to know that your heartfelt experssions of compassion have
not lost their luster.

Now, if you could just learn to stay on topic and stop trying to twist
the statistics to suit your socialist leanings...

So, basically, you're a heartless asshole who would rather make some
inconsequential complaint about what is or isn't on topic.

You're living the dream... in middle class terms, it would be a
nightmare.

Anyone living from paycheck to paycheck is not truly middle class.

Middle class is not just about money. It's more about values,
managing what you have, and saving/investing for the future.

Middle class is not just about money. It's more about values,

Most people, the vast majority of people who live paycheck to paycheck
are absolutely middle class no matter what "your" definition might be.

Your "values" seem to be you've got yours, so screw everyone else.
Most people who consider themselves middle class manage what they have
and try an invest in the future. These days many of them don't succeed
and are being throw under the bus by the right wing.

More socialist BS from my favorite parrot. Please define middle class
for us. Hint: Aspiring to middle class does not count.

How about you get off your high horse. It doesn't become you. How
about those falling out of their homes? How about those people who now
have to choose between paying their bills, buying their meds, or
feeding their children. You don't really care do you.
