I'm painfully middle class.

Upper classes are a nation's past; the middle class is its future.

It is the middle class which takes the country forward.

Bemoan being lower-middle-class and colored in a police state that protects only rich white people and movie stars of all races, though I can’t think of any Asian-American ones.
