You must be a fun person to be with, what a needlessly arrogant and abrasive answer.
It was cleary not a request for "education", but a way of starting a discussion on the use of this term, that neither seems to be used consistently in the press, makes little sense if used with 60s economy in mind, and does not have specific quantifiable criteria attached to it.
- IAmEveryone 8y agoWhile my arrogance may be misplaced, it is simply a reaction to your less-than-honest bafflement at the concept of “middle class”. Because in the context of the article, it’s difficult to find a definition that does not work. Take the middle 50 percent income quantile: works. Say “the financial security of a married couple of a teacher and a long-term employee at a manufacturing company”: works. Take “anyone not experiencing food insecurity, but not owning more than one house or more than 100,000 in cars”: works. Take “the family in Breaking Bad, pre-cancer”: works.
