All the talk about the "middle class" leaves everyone assuming no one is poor. No one worth mentioning, anyway.

BTW, all you who think Occupy achieved nothing: who was even discussing the 99% or income inequality before Occupy? It was all entitlements have to be cut, Cat Food Commission and Grand Bargain Uber Congress Committee then.

If you think it's easy to change the national discourse with small groups of people per city and almost zero dollars, then talk to some ad agencies.
