> The notion of "middle class" is a convenient propaganda piece. Turns out most folks consider themselves middle class.

Yup. I've met people living paycheck-to-paycheck, never having much more than 1 paycheck's worth of money in their bank account, that think they're middle class. Shit, I've seen people that are on food stamps that think they're middle class.

The worst part is that so many of them will vote against their own best interests because they think they'll be millionaires one day.
