Class will always exist but it's been proven that a strong middle class is a sign of a bountiful economy that actually works for it's workers.

The shrink of the American middle class is exactly what's caused most of the economic issues in America.

We allowed our middle class to be destroyed in an attempt to raise a few of those people to the top. Because upper middle class people were duped into believing they were closer to being rich than they were to being poor

Class should absolutely be something we strive to abolish. The idea that some people deserve to benefit disproportionally from the workings of our society is nonsense.

I want a middle class so strong everyone is in it. In fact let’s get rid of the upper and lower classes

Class will always exist

A good reminder that liberalism is based around unfounded assumptions and charlatan, unimaginative predictions of the future. Everyone used to think kings were inevitable, too.
