    They widened the definition of middle class in order to mask the amount of actual poor people. I like This video of how people actually use their money. Supposedly 20% of people make 25k a year 😱

    “The upper class: keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class: pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there…just to scare the shit out of the middle class.” -George Carlin’
