28. THIS! This is why the working class

feels abandoned by the party, and THIS is how the oligarchy gets away with calling the left "elitists".

My father had ONLY a high school education. But back then, in interwar Europe, they taught calculus in grade school. So much for educational gatekeeping. How many modern college grads know calculus? He fled the Nazis and fought them, and taught me a love of learning, though he was ONLY a machinist.

There is a lot of disdain of people who work and get dirty, even from so-called liberals. A far cry from the days of FDR. How many of us fix our own plumbing, as opposed to calling a plumber? I hold multiple degrees, but I bought my first house as a weldor. And I call a plumber, because they KNOW MORE about their field than I do.

We must have solidarity with the proletariat against the oligarchy. They're steadily beating us.
