Read Grapes of Wrath. Unless you have already, in which case you should reread it. Then think, of the orange farmers and the winners and family as losers. It sucks, because you know the family so well. In essence, capitalism pushes that notion. Anyone, however can be a winner, don't feed me that bullshit about set classes and how 99% of wealth is controlled by 1% because that's not the problem. The problem is that everyone is too good for their job and don't want build a career.
I don't need a -blam!-ing million dollars. It would be sweet...so sweet, but I can support my family with 43k a year comfortably in the city we live in now. I'm 25, so I've got plenty of room for economic growth, on top, of the fact that my wife finished her degree and will be working soon. If she brings in another 20k a year, which is low, but it's more than the girls and boys who whine and quit their jobs. 64k a year, living in the same, house with both cars paid off and balanced credit bills. That's middle class winning. That's capitalism: competition and the drive to win.
