    Holy generalizations, Batman!

    My purpose in making the distinction isn’t to be pedantic, it’s to help clarify the nature of the class warfare we’re dealing with. I don’t care if you want to use the term “middle class”. I only bring up the distinction because of the nature of the original post, which was explicitly noting the false narrative of the “lazy poor”.

    Tax the rich, restore the middle class, use whatever terminology you want. But understand that the poor are not the enemy of the middle class, and they’re not the villains. The rich people are.

      Holy genralizations yourself.

      When did I say anything about the poor being the enemy of the middle class, or that we aren’t all at war with the rich?

      If you’re going to put words in my mouth please order some chips and salsa to go with it.

      It doesn’t matter if you wanted to be pedantic, you were.

      Now we’re involved in a useless argument over terms.

      I’ve made my point twice, and I’m not going to repeat it a third time.

      I understand your point, and I disagree with it.

      If you decide to continue, you’re proving my point; that you’d rather engage in an argument with someone on your side than step back and accept a minor disagreement.
