What about the working class?

[Blappy]

13. Leaving other considerations alone

when I was a kid in the 1960s, 'working class' (at least in my understanding) were those who were scraping by, living paycheck to paycheck, and middle class meant 'economically comfortable'. The middle class has diminished since Reagan, so it seems to me, the ranks of the working class (as defined above) are simultaneously swelling.

Bringing education and station of employment, blue collar or white collar into the argument only confuses the circumstances. It is class warfare, and the "economic royalists" are winning decisively.
