Too bad there is no working class left. The college educated left liked belittling blue collar workers too much.
There's no blue collar worker's because it doesn't pay enough.
Educated people can and should work in blue collar fields, but unfortunately our society bases everything on money, so leaving blue collar work for higher paying jobs is literally the dear and fluffy capitalism you love so much. Anyone with an education is going to seek the highest paying job possible and none of those are blue collar.
"working class" doesn't mean field hands and electricians, it means everyone that isn't a multi millionaire. I work in IT and am still working class, you work blue collar and are working class, the salesman that works for a bank is working class. Unless you're the owner of a business entity and do not have to work to pay your bills, then you're "working class."
The conservative ideology has ground the middle class into non-existence through the deregulation of the market and the abysmal failure of trickle down economics. Compounded by the uselessness of the Democratic party (cause they're all just old money career politicians too, what a surprise) not doing a damn thing when they're in control of the legislative branch. Not because educated people made fun of yokels too much. You're drawing conclusions out of your feelings, not reality.
Bro, there are tens of millions of blue collar workers nationwide, and depending on the trade, pays exceptionally well. Not millionaire well, but well enough to live reasonably comfortably.
Lmfao what?
The... The college educated left are still working class, the blue collar workers are also working class, you are working class, I am working class.
Unless you are part of the owner class, you are the working class.
Everyone on the left is in the ruling class? Whoa! I'm rich!
I bet you felt really smart typing that
