We are the poor.
Yes, there are poorer people out there, but I think we all kinda forget how big the divide is. It lets us put ourselves in a place where we feel like we're doing well comparatively, but I think it's important that we remember that we're all being taken advantage of and we all deserve better. Yeah, definitely some will need a bit more uplifting than others, but it's Us vs. Them, and I think we spend too much time trying to further sub-divide that 'Us'. Thank you for attending my crazy segue.
We're all poor enough to deserve those free nugs though.
Yes we are the poor. If you need a job to survive you are the working class. The middle class is a concept to avoid people eating the rich. This also counts if your salary is a million, if you need to continue to work to make your life work, you are the working class.
There are only two classes:
Also originally the middle class is wealthy people who have no title. Like landed gentry and the bourgeoisie. And the upper class is aristocracy and nobility.
