Sorry for this question. I am still learning.
Something that has always bothered me is how much u.s. politicians obsess over helping the middle class. Seems like the two major parties talk about it a lot. Why do they endlessly talk about helping the middle class, but never seem to acknowledge or focus on helping the (lower?) or poverty or proletariat class?
To me it sounds like the middle class by definition should be not be as in need as other classes that don't have as much? What's the purpose of this?
everyone thinks they're "middle class". even people who know for a fact they're poor as hell will also identify themselves as "middle class" and then people who are super well off are clueless to the suffering of the real world so they also assume they're "middle class" because they don't interact with poor people and then out of their 10 friends their family is only the 6th richest
