    You don’t know how to think like an uneducated person.

    that is the step you are missing. and the fact there are more of them than the educated people.

    uneducated people see none of those benefits. you as an educated person and voting for more educated people because you see their benefits.

    uneducated people don’t see the world this way. they see educated people stealing and hoarding everything for themselves and fucking them over, which frankly, is basically what has happened the past 30 years. all the benefits of modern society are being kept by a small minority of wealthy well-educated folks, and the bottom 90% are seeing their quality of life plummet and their access to the fruits of modern life dwindle.

    poor people working in the service industry aren’t benefiting from any of what you are talking about. they are getting shut out of any medical treatment, can’t afford new cars, can’t afford home improvements, higher quality foods, etc. all that stuff is for the rich people.

      Middle class people haven’t fucked over the poor. The top 1% has.

      And as someone who came from poverty, I’m aware that your mindset is shared by many.

      They look at anyone doing a little better than they are and think “that seems unfair”.

      Yeah. It is unfair.

      But it’s not those middle people who are stealing and taking.
