I've never considered any possible world were I would be part of the upper class. I don't need or want that title. But I've also never thought it possible that I could slip down, either, to the lower class.
I am middle class. I want to be middle class forever. I'm scared that it's going away. If it disappears, and we are all still here, who will we all be? Who will we turn into? Who will we step on to climb the ladder, if we do climb? What friends will step on us if we slip? Usually this is the time when I would say, "I hope I'm dead by then," but that's just too glib a response for something so totally monumental and un-American as the disintegration of the middle class. I really, desperately want this to get fixed.

I feel ya, 100%.
We all know the middle class is going away, we hear it on the news and we see it happening. And it's not that we don't believe it, but it's happening slowly, so it's easy to just sort of put it out of your mind. Well, the other night I was thinking about it, and it wasn't easy to put out of my mind. In fact it was the main thing on my mind. It made me feel panicked. I don't need any more panic in my life!
