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?

    the people not marked dregs, because of their lack of power; the people they know have different needs and interests and are easily bought, who have sufficient wealth to be a Problem and should be placated until their power can be removed entirely, which is in-progress right now, but for now a shrinking cohort of enablers of empire who will soon be as debt shackled and landless as the people they leave behind, having taken their bribe.
