The Historic Middle Class Position vs The Lower Paid Masses!
Historically, the Middle Class were those groups, or communities that enjoyed above average good wages, healthcare benefits, permanent jobs with a pension, and invariably were unionized.
This group more or less controlled the construction jobs, manufacturing, building, processing, and middle management (or White collar) type employment.
Those outside were the rest of us Lumpen Proletariat, or the general low income masses. Most of whom shouldered the tax weight, did the menial jobs, got fired on a whim, found less permanent employment, qualified mostly or was given minimum wages, and worked less hours per week, when the business or economy experienced trouble.
Today we hear of the Middle Class Woes, and how we must SAVE the Middle Class. Most politicians currently seem to feel the need to EMPHASIZE this point. Without regard or acknowledgement, of the Lower Working masses.
