More surprising stuff for me to read -- WOW, I'm not surprised.
"Hey -- listen to this," and I read the entire passage of what is considered a middle class in the Industrial revolution days. The factory or mine owners, bankers and merchants who send their kids to Oxford and Cambridge University. In current society, they will be considered wealthy or upper class or "the 1%." Continued to read.... "Politically they were liberals, favoring constitutional government, private property, free trade, and social reform within limits." Wealthy liberals? That's unheard of. Wealthy folks are statistically more Republicans with more conservative views on the Political and Social reforms. Let's not even get me started on talking about the abortion rights and gay-marriage with these Republicans.
OK reading onto... "Laboring class" or working class... They sounded more to me like the way, we, Americans use the immigrants to do our unwanted chores, housekeepings, works (Agricultural) and pay little to none as wages with poor living conditions. Now, if that's called the laboring class -- what class am I in? I do not belong to the middle class, nor the laboring class. Maybe that's why I don't qualify for another government help (i.e Financial aid) yet I don't make enough money to pay on my own (for school) either... Why must folks like me suffer?
