The middle class is the 80th-99th percentiles, in the middle between the capitalist class and the workers. It's not the group centered on the mode of the income distribution. The middle class manages the workers and gains professional training.
It's what we call the upper middle class and it's doing fine. |

Date: May 30th, 2017 7:51 PM Author: opaque sick casino What politicians call the middle class is bifurcating. About 40% are seeing higher wages, and the bottom 60% are seeing lower wages. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3631082&forum_id=2id.#33431726) |

Date: May 30th, 2017 7:50 PM Author: Lascivious nowag In other words, the real middle class is gone since it is defined by income relative to the cost of living and goods. A worker bee in the 60s was middle class because he could afford a home, a car, stay at home wife, and a kid with his income. That was middle class, despite working a blue collar gig (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3631082&forum_id=2id.#33431719) |

Date: May 30th, 2017 7:53 PM Author: opaque sick casino No, the correct definition of the middle class is the class between the rich and the workers, that manages the economy.
The 1960s Affluent Society definition of "middle class" was always political happy talk. |
