I feel sympathy for the working class lad. I've always championed about ticket prices and try to equate that to people's salaries.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My sympathies have always been for working-class people.
The working class has been turned into a consuming class - a situation has been created where people value their worth by what they can afford.
I mean the interesting thing I think would be if something happened like, what happened in England where all these kids that all of a sudden can't afford the ticket prices.
Everything the working class has been told to do, the rich do not do. That is my message.
How large and varied is the educational bill of fare set before every young gentleman in Great Britain; and to judge by the mental stamina it affords him in most cases, what a waste of good food it is!
Abstract sympathy with the working class as an economic entity is easy, but the feeling can vanish on contact with actual members of the group, who often arrive with disturbing beliefs and powerful resentments - who might not sound or look like people urban progressives want to know.
I have a class prejudice - against the upper class, which is foolish.
Everything in America is so stratified by class now. We have the 93rd level of income inequality in the world. You're already seeing highway lanes that are for pay and ones that aren't.
Do not mistake a crowd of big wage-earners for the leisure class.
We really shouldn't be running education like a supermarket where you compare prices.
