48. It's the reduction of the middle class. A few move up - that gives
Edited on Wed Sep-28-05 10:22 AM by 54anickel
a sense of hope to the others - hopes to keep them passive. Don't need a middle-class revolt now, do we?

But many others end up 1 or 2 steps back. Upper-middle to middle to lower-middle class.

By the way, when was the last time the definition of the poverty-level was adjusted for inflation? Cuz I believe a whole lot of those luckys in the lower-middle class are actually at the poverty level.
