Funny, I grew up hearing the term middle-class Americans, that the middle-class is the backbone of America, the working middle-class, the lower middle-class and the upper middle-class. It wasn’t until later that I began to understand the concept of political elites and serfs, or the filthy rich. It isn’t a bad term, or a bad reality. It implies upward mobility, and reward for hard work. It has defined America, a place where anyone can start with nothing, and work their way into something. It is the middle area that we move through, live in, hate, enjoy, join and leave behind, and without it, we get stuck looking up. It’s demise is a tragedy.

Therein lies the story, and it's a subtle but critical one.

I suspect I "grew up" a lot earlier, and although "middle class" was in common useage the entire time, Middle Class Americans" was not.
Middle class and "Middle Class Americans" are not synonymous.
Those who control language control everything.

Just "Middle Class" is a phrase that is totally subject to as many definitions, by inference, as there are people. It is inexact."
"Middle Class Americans" is a political phrase that is critically necessary for the class war; sort of like "The New Man." Among other things, it drills into the subconscious that everyone who is in America is an American.

Including Illegal Aliens.

Don't think so?
Listen carefully to Hussein and the Soros surrogates, and their flying monkeys.

Even Fox has succumbed.
I wince, every time I hear the inane phrase, "Americano, como tu."

In your dreams, Xotlil!
