With the emergence of the New Deal, a powerful labor movement and World War II -- and the GI Bill that followed the troops home -- a large middle class developed...
What I hear that saying is that the huge Middle Class that we think is the natural state of human existence is not; it was a creation of government social engineering.
Now, most of the folks decrying social engineering are second generation or later Middle Class. It's a bet they're not going to rise into the elite. That means they're going to wind up in the underclass with the rest of us, right? So why don't they give all their money to one of the fake charities that siphons money to the aforementioned elite and come live in trailer parks and tiny apartments like the rest of us?
schitt list.
