    By this point, it kinda feels like to the 1%, there never was a “middle class” - it’s an illusion to give people hope.

    Lyndon B Johnson once said "If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
