My favorite definition of middle-class came when one of those wandering TV
reporters in LA asked some person about Im not sure what, and probably
irrelevant, but the white male responded with "I'm a middle class guy who works
for a living..."
If we expand our definition of middle class to "just getting a job" then I
guess the middle class may well be expanding, for the moment.
Then there is that odd little notion that people can "make" money in the stock
market. Delusional to the extreme, If you listen to the dribble coming from
that crowd then you also get the impression that they think they are working
hard...
