If a cop and nurse family is the representative of working class, yes, use the people in the service sector (restaurants, gig workers, contractors, etc) to bail out the govt fat cats.
- dragonwriter 7y ago> Yes, if the top 10% of households is called "working class". The working class (proletariat), especially the proletarian intelligentsia, overlaps with the top 10%. “Working class” is an economic relationship, surviving principally through selling labor, rather than through a balanced mixture of capital and labor (“middle class" or petit bourgeoisie) or principally through returns on capital (capitalist class, or *haut bourgeoisie). But a cop and a nurse on average would make about $130k (round figures, $55k for the cop and 75k for the nurse), 90th percentile household income is about $185k, so while it's possible for a cop/nurse couple to reach it, it's not remotely typical for even that couple.
