Well I actually do understand the shrinking middle class. See my post earlier on income distribution. What I don't understand is that how a poor person can have a a nice car, cell phone, 50 dollar nails, and 5 kids by the time they are 21. That is the part that is out of control.

Poor is not poor anymore and way too many people are on the system.

I love how in all your examples, the poor person is a woman.

exactly. and also strangely prone to Ebonics.

Surely it's just a coincidence.

maybe you understand that the middle class is shrinking, but you certainly have little grasp on who comprises the middle class.

That in the Nature Boy's world they are all named Shaniqua? Yeah probably.

What I don't understand is how when I say a person could have 5 children by the time they are 21, you automatically assume it could not be a man with 5 kids and then have the nerve to insinuate I am sexist. My best friend and his wife just had a baby. That man now has one kid.. See how that works

Once again a perfect example of a liberal attaching race to something that was not about race. So you are saying that when you think of a name like Shaniqua, you automatically picture a welfare mother ?? Your words not mine..

Your KKK robe is showing no matter how hard you try to pedal your non racist creeds.

That would fly, I guess, if you hadn't added the previous comment about phones to call their baby daddy and then mentioning their 50 dollar nails.

Your prejudice shows on a daily basis no matter how hard to try to defend it. I'm sure you're talking about men just as much. Whatever makes you feel better.

and who exactly is in the middle class is a hotly debated subject and many notable economist will disagree but go ahead and tell us cause you have if figured out right ?

how many men do you know that spend 50 bucks on getting their nails done.

you have a prejudice against people who receive welfare benefits. it's obvious in your posts. i can't explain anything to you while you've got that chip on your shoulder.

and I also mentioned nice cars and cell phones, which could include men also.

You mentioned cell phones to call their baby daddy. You added the baby daddy part, so you were not talking about men, were you?

The funny thing is, no matter how much you want to deny your prejudice, you're still wrong. The majority of people who receive government assistance are nothing like what you describe. But you have an image of who these people are in your head and you'll believe that no matter what.

As for the nice cars, were you complaining about this ten years ago? Or would you rather pretend this is a new development?

I love it when people lump in Social Security as some kind of government assistance. It's not. People pay in to the social security fund for YEARS. Now if congress would stop borrowing against it, that would be nice.

ETA: That's like saying I'm getting "banking" assistance when I start receiving disbursements from my 401k.

That's unfair. I think in some examples they are black as well.
