A middle class that’s back on its feet, an economy that lifts everybody up, an America that’s ascendant in the world — that’s more important than winning an election.
BARACK OBAMA, remarks to GOP House Issues Conference, Jan. 29, 2010
“Until you win the election, then you don’t have to fiddle with stupid stuff like that and can get back to your REAL agenda.”

the whole concept of “middle class” is a Marxist construct and I refuse to discuss its merits. we in America don’t live in a class system and we can’t let the left win the language.
