“Fighting for the Fortgotten Middle Class” February 22, 2012
Posted by irishelectionliterature in Capitalism.trackback
The recent Irish Times Series on the Middle Classes prompted a number of posts on the issue. “Riddle me this: The squeezed ‘middle earners’” and “More on the ‘Middle Class’…”
Seems its a tried and trusted slogan..
From 1992 and the US middle Classes weren’t ‘Squeezed’, they were ‘Forgotten’
A friend of mine – who’d emigrated from Britain to the US – once said that the Americans had just as clear-cut a class system as us, it’s just that they didn’t call it class; they called it race.
I wonder if that’s the subtext of ‘middle class’ here – in effect Clinton (in the great tradition of southern Democrats) was doing a Jack Straw and addressing the very real concerns of the white working class…

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with
hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several
weeks of hard work due to no back up. Do you
have any solutions to prevent hackers?
