I'm sorry, but you're just wedded to an ideology of victimhood that relies on statistical analysis that is almost entirely misleading and short-sighted.

First, the people working those nonsupervisory jobs make up the bulk of the middle class. Dismissing them as irrelevant and writing them off is the very thing that is placing this nations middle class in jeopardy.

This is a good example of the faulty analysis you rely on. The lower middle class aren't being dismissed as irrelvant. They are moving into the upper middle and upper classes. Likewise, the lower class are moving into the middle class.

the "high tech information age" thing is a fallacy. Tech and science jobs are no longer being created in the U.S.

Statements like that show exactly why your arguments can't be taken seriously. Ten years ago, Amazon.com didn't exist. Five years ago, Google didn't exist. Together these two companies alone employ probably over 50,000 people. Are you saying those don't count? How many other companies have been created in the wake of new technology that aren't nearly as big and fly under the national radar.

You're arguments are ridiculous. They seem more akin to the Democrats and labor union mentality than anything I'd expect to see here.

50,000 people? no way. amazon employs 7800, google 1900.

microsoft employs 50,000 people. Cisco employs 34,000.
