Middle class people haven't fucked over the poor. The top 1% has.
And as someone who came from poverty, I'm aware that your mindset is shared by many.
They look at anyone doing a little better than they are and think "that seems unfair".
Yeah. It is unfair.
But it's not those middle people who are stealing and taking.
middle class people have fucked over the poor. systematically. middle class people hate the poor more than rich people do. they are the ones who are passing your local town laws that systematically prevent any/all development and trying to keep poor people from moving there by inflating property values and providing no jobs. they are the ones who complain about homeless people and think they shouldn't exist.
I'm part of the middle class now, and grew up poor. Everyone around me now hates on poor people incessantly as if it's there hobby. They love nothing more than to brag about how 'educated' and 'successful' they are and complain about how difficult their lives are because of evil poor people making them have to pay taxes. And if you dare suggest that maybe their 'downgrade' of a 3 series BMW from the 5 series they could get if they had less tax, is not that big a deal... they scream in your face what piece of shit asshole you are.
Oh and if they find out you grew up in poverty... they stop talking to you entirely. They don't want your 'poverty' to be anywhere near them.
the middle class are people who do steal and take and are embittered that they can't steal and take more, like the rich do. They are not people who say 'i have enough and I am content'.
