The Overhyped Middle Class

All over the news, you hear that the
Driving force for the economy__
The backbone of this country____

I was quite surprised by the way middle-class whites treat service workers.  Or the way the middle-class whites regard anyone else they consider beneath them.  They think they are too good to say "Hi" or make eye contact with a store cashier.  They think they are too good to look a post office clerk in the eye.  The middle-class whites think they are above the station of that of hourly wage workers.

Let me repeat the catch phrase once again for emphasis.  These are not "upper-class" people in the definition that most people think of:  money wise.  These people are staunchly middle-class, money wise.
