Middle-class this, middle-class that, WHAT ABOUT US POOR PEOPLE???

[Odin2005]

It seems like the only time we get mentioned is when RW assholes like Mittens and Newt shit on us, otherwise zilch. It's all about "the middle class", a sickening term the PTB use to divide the more well off wage slaves from the less well ones.

This is why OWS and it's 99% meme is so important, it focuses on the real issue.

1. I agree to give you an example

on October 27, 1988 I was one of seven who went to a George Bush for president rally in Tacoma, Washington...11 minutes into the rally I yelled "What about the poor George Bush, what about the poor?" at which point I was spit on, hit over the head with yard sign and had my glasses ripped off of me, and I was the one arrested and charged with disorderly conduct!

2. I agree. The focus on the poor by some OWS branches is

a very good thing.

3. Yeah, republicans have been using this trick for a while. The old "don't look at me look at them".

5. I've never understood the term middle-class.

I never use it unless I'm quoting someone. I've been working poor my entire adult existence. Now half the US is poor. I wonder what the "middle" is now?
