Reply #82: How can "workers" not [View All]

Judging from some posts around here I get the sense that many of DU's "working class" are college students who grew up in firmly upper middle class homes in the suburbs who, upon graduation, will leave their temporary stay in the working class behind for good.

Why do i say that? Because the real working class, which I grew up a part of, doesn't give a shit about the pap the original poster worries about. They're too busy working. They care about getting out. And if gazillionaires like FDR and LBJ and Kennedy help them, they're grateful.

I'd bet they'd hate to have their status invoked by someone pretending
to be one of them but who is actually as rich as midas--like fidelity ralph.
