It apparently is a common experience for the middle class worker - perhaps you heard it from some 40 or 50 year old middle class drone? Some escape the experience, I wish I had - but I do emphasize with them - they are being screwed by the owner class, as the owner's take advantage of the their usually inherited positions to plunder the worker class of their activity, ingenuity, and productivity. It is time to push back, to gain some equity in what we produce.

I am reminded of the Michael Douglas movie "Falling Down" about the angry White guy thing but in a few years we can see a lot more of this and not just White guys but people of all colors, stripes and both genders. They number in the millions and vote. I do emphasize with them too, seeing what happened here in Pittsburgh with our industry and so on. I do agree with you.

The middle class is being taken to the cleaners by "our" federal, local, and state governments, and by the companies we work for. TSHTF when companies start reneging on pensions and their underfunded retire medical benefits long "promised" as an inducement to employees.

"Falling Down" was a stark reminder of how one's reaction to bothersome things, normally contained, can quickly escalate into unrestrained violence. It was frightening.
