- Middle class is a politician buzz word. There are at least two
- definitions:
-
- Democrates:
- If you are on welfare, you are the poor.
- If you paid less tax than the average people, you are
- the filthy rich.
- None of the above? Welcome to the middle class.
-
- Repulicans:
- If you don't pay tax, you are the lower class.
- If you need a tax break, you are the rich.
- None of the above? Welcome to the middle class.

- According to the real middle class:
- The group of people between a rock and a hard place--that
- is between the Donkeys and the Elephants. *sigh*
