New definition of 'Middle Class'...
Making too much AGI to get the 2008 Tax Rebate and too little to have benefited from Bush's famous Tax Cut. That's me! Middle Class all the way!

1. Oh, I thought the new definition of Middle Class was anyone

3. I'm at 3/8 of a tank
which means I'll need to fill up within another 10 days, before my next trip in to the surgeon.

It's $3.49 today. It was $3.45 yesterday. I'm betting on $3.55 next week.

5. I paid $3.59 three days ago, almost cr*pped. 'The Season'
starts here Memorial Day weekend, figure it'll be over $4 and maybe closer to $5 by then.

Hope the surgeon has good news for you.

2. Ain't no such thing as the 'Middle Class'

There is the Capitalists and the rest of us. The idea of the middle class is mere divide and conquer tactics.

4. And as soon as we all figure that out we may have our power back.

This is not just about the poor, the working poor, the unskilled laborer, the skilled worker, the college educated worker, the small business owner. This is about all of us and the sooner we put a voters coalition back together the better.
