Why do the struggling poors, aka those making less than $150k, think they are so essential to the economy?> yes they are; who do you think buys the products and services that these businesses make? The middle class are the backbone of this economy. >Do you know how many businesses fail every day? I do. Has it put any substantial dent in the economy? No. If no one has any children, there are not people to buy the products that businesses provide. I am not the one that needs to get a grip. > Has it put any substantial dent in the economy?If the answer is no, then doesn’t that mean the middle class is irrelevant and these people are thinking too highly of themselves? The top 10% do 50% of the consumption.
middle class is working class. lol wtf is this image
>>62696756Its non existent.
>>62696768Yeah, but I think this image was trying to make middle class people feel better. lol. I have heard so many middle class people say they are the backbone of the economy.
I don't think it's possible for there to be billionaires if society is not generally wealthy.
>>62696819I guess. These poor people are so ignorant.
>>62696756not essential to the economy, essential to society. working class is there so rich people can have things that other people don't, can be in spaces others can't, and can do stuff others aren't allowed to do. In return, the middle class is given bread and circus and some vague amount of collective diluted social power. The only thing that matters is how wide the wealth gap is and that IS very relevant to the economy
>>62696756I'm glad I work at a private club for billionaires, it keeps me out of contact with dipshit millionaires who think theyre hot shit because their dad owns a Chevy dealership in whogivesafuckistan.
>>6269675699% is there just to take care of each other.1% is there to make world better.Nowdays you don't need 99people to make excess for one. You could cull the herdWhen there would be only ⅕ people everyone could get cherry from the top.
>>62696756I make 50k and I’ve never thought that. Only the top 20%. (Those making 150k/2mill NW) drive aggregate demand in the economy.
>>62696996You literally still work, brokie. >>62696882Sounds good. >>62697295I have heard “middle class is backbone” at least a few times a month. The whole “who will buy their products?” is another form.
>>62696996You work in a billionaire work place but the moment you leave, the second best you are interacting with are millionaires. lmao. Nice try bro. You ain’t shitting on milliomaires lol.
>>62696756>let them eat cakejesus you aren't that daft, are you? Starving africans are on avg happier than westerners, why? All have it equally shit. The disparity between people who have it ok, good and great causes all groups to be less happy. Thats why this shit is taught in the bible by a man who whether or not you believe it has the same authority as a god. No contemporary gorillionaire or jewish kabbalah wizard holds 0.00001℅ the influence and power he has. (YES HAS TO THIS FUCKING DAY 2K YEARS LATER)Elon Musk is a damn fine example of a wholly irrelevant man. So irrelevant and small that he pays pro gamers to rank high, begs "billionaires" for party invites.
>>62696756What net worth or income, or combination of both, makes you upper class?
>>62697616thinking in those terms means you are lower class. having things like a yacht, personal chef, never having to work, etc... makes you upper class
>>62697607Elon Musk doesn’t count. Millionaire or billionaire doesn’t make a dork nerd geek not a dork nerd geek.
>>62697616not working for a living makes you upper class.>guy on $900/mo schizobuxupper class>guy with $500k savings retired to thailandupper class>guy with a $93M trust fundupper class
>>62697940You gorged on too much white incel doomergoon
>>62697940Troll post. >>62697975What?
>>62697616Need at least $5 million liquid to get to middle upper class. Middle class is $1-$5 million (usually 1 or 2 properties, or low cost basis, so less liquid). Under $1 million in assets you are working class or dependent class.Upper class is over $10 million at low end.
>>62696768It didnt used to be but the actual middle class has been dead for ever.
the rich and poor run the economy but that’s because they’re in an alliance against the middle class
>>62696756Because they are. I wont pretend that the world economy was built by people in slums. There are however many many more people with a network of a million dollars or so than there are super rich billionaires and centimillionaires. All billionaires in the usa have 10 trillion network, 10 million guys with a million each have 10 trillion network, 100 million guys with 100k each have 10 trillion network. Then theres africa. Then theres americans with debt.
