    Being middle class is actually being gangbanged by both corpos and the state. One sees you as a simple pawn that can be exploited and the other considers you to be a rich guy that must be heavily taxed

      I goto work knowing there should be some class solidarity. Unless there is a EO in your title you’re with us, sorry. The wealth gap between the rich and the extreme rich is enormous.

      Unfortunately, the haves don’t see it that way and lord over everyone with their “fancy teslas” or what ever the dum shit they think is a status symbol.

        That enormous gap is inequality driven by corporate greed…
        It’s what I like to call legal corruption ( at least in US where a fortune 100 company can get away with paying virtually no tax )
