The big “middle class” rip-off: How a short sale taught me rich people’s ethics – Salon.com.

Tell it, brother!  Why in the world do “middle class” Americans vote Republican?  What would it take to get people to at least vote in their own interest?  If you don’t derive almost all of your income from investments, you’re working class.  Well, unless you can get your board to vote you a million-dollar raise any time you like.  Just because you have $100K in a 401(k) doesn’t make you an “investor” if you still have to go to work every day.  You’re working class, and you should be voting for government policies that benefit people who have to (or would like to) work for a living.  You’re a lot closer in the pecking order to the Wal-Mart Associates than to the Jamie Dimons of the American class structure.
