No hate for the middle class. I can't help but enjoy the irony of people who thought they had solidarity with capital talking like Ned Ludd all of a sudden.

Middle class people don't need to work

If you don't need to work, you are not middle class. Middle class still earn a paycheck.

Is $400k/year not enough that they need more?

If you need to work for your salary, you are working class, not the capitalist class.

Some working class people make a lot more than others, but they all pale in comparison to the capitalist class.

$400k per year is very well off. But they're not rich.

A multi-millionaire is significantly closer to houselessness than they are to being a capitalist class/billionaire.

I don't think 400k a year as an individual is middle class. I've never seen a definition saying anything more than 150k.

That’s what the GOP defines as middle class.
