Before I retired I had a small business, but before that I was hired to look after a country estate in the Highlands of Scotland. I was hired by the owner. My interview lasted all day..Anyway, a few weeks into the job I found little to do, it was winter, so I started helping the owners brother in law, to remove and replace the roof of the big house. On this day, we were sat in what was the seller, now open to the skies...We were sat drinking tea while burning rotten timbers. The owner came down and as soon as he entered we changed the subject that we had been discussing. The owner noticed this and later asked, 'why did you stop talking and changed the subject when I came down. I gave him my own opinion which was...There are us and them...You are them. We live in a different world and understand it in a different way. You see it from up there looking down..We see it by looking up. You see it through the lens of privilege. We don't feel privileged. Every day is filled with the unknown for us. You could fire me right now and there is nothing I could do about it. You have the power...I don't. (We became friends. Had some great chats).

At least part of that can be chalked up to the immensely decline in worker leverage from years of consistent labor movement growth to years of consistent labor movement shrinkage from ‘80 onward. Another is certainly that the 90%’s share of national income is shrinking and income growth once concentrated at the very bottom throughout the Great Compression is now concentrated in the 1%. CEO pay skyrocketed, median salary barely moved, and minimum wage salary decreased (owing to the fact the minimum wage is not calculated in real dollars but current dollars given inflation). All this started in the 1970s before union strength disappeared with the new decidedly pro-business positions of Congress and the Rehnquist Court (Powell notably wrote a memorandum calling for corporate takeover to the Chamber of Commerce). This might sound insane or “leftist” but it’s really just an evaluation of the actual political history that corresponded with these negative economic trends for working Americans.

The problem is that the US has denied the existence of a working class, preferring to call working people "middle class". But this label overlooks the culture and attitudes of a massive group of people who work in mediocre jobs to avoid poverty and destitution ~ and not because they want to work in those jobs. True middle class people have prestigious jobs they want to do and they wouldn't necessarily be destitute if they did not work because of their family wealth and connections. The working class are traditionally minded, patriotic, and want stability and security because, unlike rich people, we cannot leave our countries if things get tough. Therefore, we need governments to make our neighbourhoods safe and prosperous. We them to make our countries safe and prosperous because we have nowhere else to go. And we love democracy because it gives working people a voice. The working class tend to grow up and live in areas where our parents and grandparents lived because we feel an emotional attachment to where we live and our local culture. The working class is such a large group that it ironically nearly vanishes into the background. But Trump's election and Brexit made the Elitists sit up and notice us. And the snobbish insults from the elitists and the "real" middle~class have been non~stop since 2016

I do not agree with any conflation of the middle class with the working class. The working class consists of manual workers, people who drive for a living, retail clerks, office workers whose jobs do not require uni degrees. The middle class consists of white collar workers and well paid highly skilled manual workers, and the owners of proprietorships making over 60K/year. If your job comes with a desk having a computer on it, you are middle class.

The LAW, called Obamacare ruined much for the American peoples. Where most workers preferred a full-time job situation with all of the perks and benefits that went with long-term employment at one location/company. If they employed more than 50 full-time employees at one location, the Company had to provide full- coverage insurance for all of those employees. But, if they fired/laid off/demoted those excess over 50 to the situation of Part-time workers, They were not forced by O'care to do anything. So, O'care created a way for many to get jobs by replacing the well-trained and competent full-timers with inept, unwilling to work, almost illiterate new, part-time workers WHO get NO vacation time , no personal days, no holiday pay, no raises or bonuses, actually cutting out ALL of the incentives to stay with one good company. And every year, more insidious little laws are revealed that are tucked inside the O'care law. Yes, it employed many people in "Shovel-ready jobs", and it took many millions of full-time jobs away. The ladies in HR where I last worked told me it was a nightmare, where before they had handled hiring 5-10 part-timers and 2-5 full-timers each year to firing 40 full-timers and hiring 200 part-timers, over the first year. Do you think this means 200 part-timers are working there? NOPE, as many don't pass the drug test, many cannot read, many don't even come in one day, many for 1 day and never come back, and many cannot handle money or stress. What is a well-trained worker? Any full-timer that's been with us a year or more. Part-timers get 28 hours or less, mostly. So raising the wages to $15 per hour means they make maybe $300 take-home per week. So they have to get a second job, too. Many hours less for the family. And every time the Republicans try to change or improve O'CARE the same Dems who created O'care stop/block it.

Although this segment was published a while ago, its message is even more relevant today. The Dems forgot the middle class a long time ago. Putting wokeness, identity, gender, constitutional change (removing the electoral college or lowering the voting age to 16 or limiting the appointment of Supreme Court justices) ... at the heart of the political party platform just makes the Dems irrelevant to the working class frankly. You can see the fracture quite severely now when the likes of Sen Sanders has to reign in the extremists in the Democratic Party. At this fractured state, their talk about the middle class just rings hollow. Pelosi recently said that the party must be united to prevent President Trump’s re-election but it was under her watch that the Dems began to fracture so severely. Honestly talk about 38 genders or saving the arctic ice sheet or how critical it is to have open boarders-this all plays well with Hollywood and the elite, but it is completely irrelevant (or even contrary) to the middle class.

I think part of the problem is that, 50 years ago, the difference in income between blue collar and white collar wasn't that great. My father was in middle management with a Fortune 50 company, and I had classmates whose fathers were tradesmen and drove newer, more expensive cars than what my father drove. I think the disparity has increased. But what makes someone with a family income of $200K think they are upper middle class is housing. Someone with a 3 or 4 bedroom house that costs $300K thinks they are middle class, because friends live in a nearby suburb where houses are larger and start at $700K.

There is another group that you omitted. Due to jobs loses or other reasons(illness) at the beginning of this "trend". There were many middleclass who were struck down lower class, due to illness particularly as well as throwing people out in the cold without any training while jobs went overseas. Instantly drove them into lower middle class or poverty. One thing that you witness is most of us never gave up our principles. It's hard to keep the faith when you are hungry, have trouble securing health care making ends meet, watching handouts to illegal criminals & people who cheat the programs cause they are lazy. They are on the dole & working under the table making 3-4K a month or committing crimes. I have income of less than half of the lower poverty amount at age 78. I get a grand total of six dollars a month food stamps. I've had one gift (christmas) of $500.00 in 25 years of SSDI, no other help. When I needed a dental plate, I saved for two years by e eating 2 meals s day cutting extras?? & I worked 10 years after I was told to quit due to health. One of the most Illresponsible things the democrats did that hurt many good people, refused the plan President Trump offered to the existing established illegals, this was a gross disregard of common sense justice as we invited them here. At that time many people were here illegally technically, were not pursued due to the written & unspoken acceptance of absorbing hard working. law abiding potential citizens allowing them to become legal. democrats are 100% responsible for those people having deportation, the democrats would not even listen to Trump I'd wager that those people worked in industries that many people wouldn't wanted to do.& probably worked for some of the Congress democrats. You all should be ashamed! I voted for Trump based on Hillary track record, I'd followed her career since her college days. I found her to dishonest, a liar, a cheat, a communist self absorbed & only cared for herself. Trump was a businessman & the USA is the biggest in the world. He had reputationof honesty, wasn't afraid to make decisions, didn't like yes men & I never watched his shows. I prayed, voted & he is my Hero. God bless him.

The American middle class is falling behind, much moreso than the British or Australian middle class because of the millstone of healthcare costs. Both Britain and Australia have universal health care, there are zero medical bankruptcies because the tax payer funds medicine. If you get sick, you can afford the medical care and you still have your house when you get better. The USA has 500,000 people bankrupted every year. This has an enormous impact on the economy. On top of that, how many people actually die because they can't afford to get the medical care in the first place, or can't afford to maintain the medical care. Until the US unties this ideological handcuffs, the economy will continue to go backwards.

Aspiration has been given more importance than actual achievements. So, the person who vocally aspires to be successful, regardless of how far from success they actually are, is seen as superior to the person who actually achieves a modest income and lifestyle over forty years.. The person planning to write a best selling novel, who's never published a thing, as better than the person who's published a book that only sold one copy. Politicians can easily sell aspiration to get votes, it costs them nothing. Selling someone a lifetime of responsibility, work and commitment though, is much harder and requires the kind of brutal honesty and credibility (what have *you* achieved to make *you* worth telling *me* how the country should be run), that politicians rarely have.

In UK one of the problems is the fixation with university degrees that anyone without a degree, no matter how useless, are thick! In fact cleverness is not necessarily linked to intelligence or being smart.

The woman in this video doesn't seem to understand that the quality of life $200k buys you in different parts of the country. Where I live $200k will provide an amazing lifestyle however my wife's family lives in the NYC area and there $200k isn't enough to own your own home. My in-laws rent an 800sqft 2 bedroom apartment in Richmond Hill for $1200/ month. He works in construction and has a cargo van that he has to pay $100/ month to park at his building. He has to pay for a storage unit to store his tools. The toll costs $15 each time you cross any of the bridges or tunnels getting you in the city, there is no way around it! By South Carolina standards they make great money but struggle in Queens! My brother and his wife make great money, over $190k a year but they live in the Seattle area. The cost of living out there puts them in a 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bath which is only about 1500sqft. It costs his family $21.50 every time to take the ferry into the city. He is retired navy studying mechanical engineering and she is an engineer with the department of navy. They pay more for child care than we do for our house, more than $1000/ month. They don't think they can afford another child.

Sidecar 771: True, where you live determines how far your income can go. Usually where the income is low, the overhead is equally the same. 75% of your take. If you can earn a lot and you overhead is less then 40% , you can make out, like a bandit

That's normal for most governments in countries with a considerable financial difference in the demography. Every policy is made to appease the either ends of the financial spectrum and not for the middleclass which actually pays for everything in a way. It probably happens because middleclass populace is the one that works the hardest and are too occupied with surviving. We are the least violent as well. The poor get freebies which middleclass pays for and the rich reap benefits from the middleclass work, not to say they don't work though. I have utmost respect for the hustlers and the entrepreneurs who create actual value.

By the way this is a divisive way of thinking and speaking, this society should not be labeled a caste system. We should not allow a financial divide, that automatically put you in that position for life with no up-word perspective, this is a bad habit to get in and should not be perpetuated. No more lower, middle, or upper class!! We are Americans or not, we are winners not losers. That’s why national pride, being one United people is so important, not divided, our national conversation should join us together!!

The suggestion/assertion is too broad. It is probably relevant in the context of those who have gained wealth (high income) as inheritance or perhaps a lottery at a young age and didn't have to take the path starting from earning a low income to attaining the position in the high income (elite) class. How much does the low/middle income class understand the elite? The risk involved?

4:40. The problem with defining the American Dream as "doing better than your parents" is it MUST end in failure. Doing better than those before you naturally has to have an end point, a cap. It is a ridiculous proposition. The better way is to say you want to have a way to make a decent living, to support your family and have a little extra to recreate with. That is a dream that is achievable in perpetuity, and truth be told, that's about all the effort many Americans are willing to put out. To rise to wealth requires a whole lot more effort, risk, and dedication/self-discipline.

Trump and his campaign managers were a lot smarter than the Democrats. You may think this lady has her nose in the air but she's absolutely correct and Trump knew the numbers. Hence, the kind of campaign he put forth to become the president and won. To win over the electoral college and all the other political crap that happens in Washington he knew he was going to have to win by votes. Yes I know a lot of you were going to disagree and say there was this and there was that and I'm overlooking a bunch of stuff but at the end of the day the fact that he won prove the point.

Jim Britt the powers that be deep state - the fed-banksters want a 2 classes, poor & rich. It doesn't matter what president dem or rep. It's been happening over the last 40 years. You use to be able to have a job & your wife stay home raising the kids & you could afford to own your house any where in the US afford medical insurance, 2 cars & go on vacation every summer. That is a dream now. Obama was a puppet bush was a puppet. Trump is trying but when he is done you will see nothing really changed. You will still not be able to afford much because we are all dept slaves It's all just a trick on the masses, politricks. Divide & conquer that's why we have a two party system. They don't want the people to unite!

To compound this problem, many of the coveted jobs at firms and other businesses are granted to the scion offspring of wealthy elitists through nepotism or power politics due to "mommy and daddy" donating money or being on the board of directors. Those who don't need or even care about these coveted professional job opportunities (crucial for socio-economic advancement) get them.
