Let's face it. There is no middle class anymore. You are either wealthy, a member of the working poor, or you are non working and poor.

Seriously. Wealthy people don't trade their time for dollars because they have something called leverage working for them.

The working poor... well they're sharecroppers. Some are better paid sharecroppers. But sharecroppers nevertheless. I know this is bruising some egos, but you have to be honest. Due to inflation and the increasing gulf between the wealthy and everyone else, we already know that most people who occupy this space will be dead or dead broke by their early to late 70s.

Seriously, how is the 40/40/40 plan working out for most people? Ever heard of doing the same thing over and over again and than expecting a different result being insane, eh?

Then there is everyone else. Hell, at least there is some relief for those who are the non working poor (not necessarily because they don't want to work). At least you can buy some cheap whiskey on Sunday mornings in Michigan now.
