the middle class are the people who lived in all those american suburbs built in the 50s and 60s; those small, 2 or 3 bedroom houses with drab siding or brick facades that are an overrepresentation of the american landscape and lifestyle, despite the fact you’ve rarely ever seen one in a TV show or film. these homes were affordable to the average worker but now aren’t; those are the homes of the 90%, the actual hard-working american population–the ‘middle class.’

nothing you’re talking about is outside the power of government… do you want someone’s land? then you just take it. nobody is going to put up a fuss for longer than a few months.
and when they do put up a fight, you crush them or pay them off.
we don’t have anything good because nobody in power is interested.
