I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. This statement is 100 percent accurate. It is tough being middle class right now. Inflation has drastically outstripped our pay raises. The price of housing, gas, and common food items is way up.
- spacemadness 3y agoDo you honestly think that people are downvoting the idea the middle class is hurting? They’re downvoting as it lazily and dishonestly uses poor people as a scapegoat. But I think you know that.
- sosborn 3y agoI don't think anyone reading this thread thought that poor people were being used as a scapegoat. I think people read it as the middle class being pushed down rather than pulled down.
- michaelt 3y agoThe post is probably getting downvotes because people can't tell whether it's complaining that people are being reallocated from middle class to poor; or whether money is being reallocated from middle class people to poor people.
- oblio 3y agoNo, money is reallocated upwards.
