I'm a daughter of the middle class with a strong sense of social mobility and individualism, like the waves of immigrants, like my Spanish grandparents, who made Argentina.

Unions go hand-in-hand with a strong middle class.

A strong, educated middle class is what made America the greatest country in the world.

A populist is someone who fights for common sense economic policies that sustain and expand the middle class.

I'm painfully middle class.

Americans, whether armed or not, were still looking everywhere but at social class when parsing the texture of their lives. It wasn’t so much that stressed-out blue-collar folks were clinging bitterly to their guns and religion, as Barack Obama had posited while running for president. It was more that guns and religion were keeping them from feeling bitter about the indignities inflicted on the middle class.
