I propose that once Kamala officially assumes the position and we can ignore demented Hitler again we do our best to yeet her straight back out the Whitehouse.
We have to start getting actually mad, but in such a way where we keep thinking clearly and do not expose ourselves to emotional manipulation.
No. Don’t yeet her out, but lobbying, absolutely. We as Americans need to start pushing OUR representatives to do what WE want. The official middle-class annual income is around $54K - $161K. Huge window, and those numbers are obviously embellished because it’s claimed those numbers make up 50% of Americans. 11% of the percentage left over is poverty level, lower Class is 29%, and the rest is upper or upper-middle class.
So 41% of Americans can’t or struggle affording the American Dream.
Now, let’s look at tax brackets (which socially in America is what really defines your class)
$0-$11,000 essentially means you’re homeless or in prison
$11,001-$44,275 means you’re impoverished
$44,276-$95,375 is lower Class
$95,376-182,100 is lower-middle class
$182,101-231,250 is middle class
$231,251-$578,125 is upper-middle class
$578,126 and up is upper class.
So in substance, there are 7 tax brackets that represent “all” of the American people. When they say “Middle Class,” they include all of the tax brackets that include the word “middle” and take the higher ends of lower-class. So they are embellishing the numbers to make it look like the majority is being spoken for, but what they’re actually doing is fudging statistical numbers to try and cover the “majority” of Americans in 3 tax brackets.
Proportional taxes, inflation defense, lower credit standards. My wife and I live in the lower-class bracket. We have been trying to move to a different state, and even with a credit score within the standards, the missing pre req is a standard income. Since my VA disability is tax-free, it is not supposed to be registered for income, and if one person uses that as their primary income, It’s shown that one spouse has zero income and that the other spouse is paying an amount that’s shows that income is hemorrhaging
