Well I'm not the most educated man on the planet but to me it just seems like propaganda used by the rich to justify the rat race.
The way I see it there are two classes, the wealthy upper class who earn passive incomes, own land, property, businesses etc.
And the working class, people who can scarce afford to miss a shift, people who live largely hand to mouth.
Everyone thinks they're the middle class but that's my point, that it's something they make us tell ourselves so that we can believe that we're somehow bridging the gap, so that even if we are rich, we still have something to strive for but we don't, alteast not the way I see it…
