106. We MUST, MUST, MUST get out the message that what hurts the poor hurts the middle class!
We have to connect the dots of the cuts to poor people with cuts to middle class people. Otherwise, they won't get it. People will take a step up but not a step down. They don't want to be downgraded. They want the best they can get.

If that's the case, then we must tell them how their ratifying policies of the ruling class have basically denigrated their own class. Show them how they suffered, not benefited, by the policies of the ruling class. THAT's what has impoverished them (in terms of social benefits). If they cannot connect the dots, they exist in a kind of limbo, without a context to connect them to political action). Isn't political action the whole point?
