It's no longer an exaggeration to say that middle-class Americans are an endangered species.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A strong, educated middle class is what made America the greatest country in the world.
A well-educated populace is the backbone of our middle-class.
The middle class has just fallen further and further behind the rich.
Both chronic, long-term poverty and downward mobility from the middle class are in the same category of things that America likes not to think about.
The American middle class always wants to be upper class and is scared to death of being lower class. It's a highly mobile group of people. They're not like the people that want to be shopkeepers forever, have always been shopkeepers and want always to be shopkeepers. These people mostly are insulted by being called middle class.
It's nice to see that people in Middle America are really affected.
A middle class is so important to a society that its value cannot be overestimated.
Let's not forget we created that ideal middle class by destroying all of our industrial competitors during World War II.
The United States is a country where practically everybody considers himself middle class.
The middle class creates us rich people, not the other way around.
