Nah, the middle class is shriveling up because we tolerate meager taxes on the ultra rich and stagnant wages. Fix the tax code and form some unions, and I think you'd be surprised how much the middle class could rebound.
I mean I guess but I also don't want a middle class. I want there not to be a poor class. The lowest level of living in society should be what we consider "middle class"standards
I think the path to that looks like growing the middle class, just not stopping until it totally consumes the poorer class.
No, that time's gone. The climate crisis will make sure that that sweet home you bought from your union wages won't survive until you're old... If you don't die early to starvation thanks to the collapse of agriculture.
