So the “upper middle class” is the problem now. The new Goldstein to rail and scream and flail against?
Like small business owners?
Like mid to upper managers?
Like just starting to become successful entrepreneurs?
Guys that are too rich to qualify for many breaks on anything, but not rich enough to be able to afford accountants that cost a lot of money to shield their assets from big taxes?
Gimme a g-damn break.
Considering the unemployment, fraud, waste and redistribution schemes govt at every damn level has, everyone is clinging onto everything as much as possible to keep it away from the giant sucking sound of govt hoovering in as much of your money as it can.
The folks he referenced are the academics and professionals, not the business managers and entrepreneurs, the credentialed people who believe their government licenses and educational degrees give them rights above and beyond their actual attainments and abilities.
